Manual Testing Vs Automation Testing

1. Manual Testing Vs Automation Testing

2. Introduction to Software Testing

3. Why to Choose Software Testing? • Points out the errors missed during the development phase • Ensures customer reliability to reach level of staisfaction • Effective working of Software is promised • Avoids any extra costs that may arise due to failure of Software functioning

4. Manual Testing • The process of testing the software products to identify the defects • The tester acts as the end user and checks every feature of the product manually

5. Pros of Manual Testing • Best suitable for short term projects • Aptly finds out the real-time end user issue • Contains the scope of flexibility

6. Cons of Manual Testing • Some of the tasks are quite tough to identify, manually • Sometimes turn to be boring and repetitive • For making any changes, the user needs to run the test from beginning

7. Automated Testing • Performs the tests based on run tests of the comparison reports, created earlier • Automates the repetitive tasks using a formal approach of tests and identify errors quickly

8. Pros of Automated Testing • Executes the tests quickly • Economic to use • Results are visible to everyone in the team

9. Cons of Automated Testing • Tools are sometimes expensive • Some tools take time to execute • Some tools have limitations

10. Conclusion • Both the testing techniques have their own Pros and Cons; hence the users have to choose depending upon the time, size of the project, along with the availability of resources • Combining both could be a good option for the users, however a proper research is required for the same
