Manual Testing is a software testing method in which the tester directly runs and verifies the functionality of the application without using automation tools. The purpose of manual testing is to identify bugs, errors, or inconsistencies with user requirements before the application is released.
The tester runs the application manually to ensure its functionality meets specifications.
More effective in finding bugs related to user interface (UI/UX), user experience, and real-world scenarios.
Can easily customize test scenarios without the need to modify automation scripts.
Used to find unexpected bugs by freely exploring the application without following a predetermined scenario.
Manual testing helps identify usability issues that automation tools may not be able to detect.
Including functional testing, UI/UX testing, simple regression testing, basic security testing, and device compatibility testing.
