Manual Software Testing

Uplatz provides this in-depth course on Manual Software Testing. It is a self-paced course consisting of video tutorials. You will be awarded Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

Manual Testing is a type of software testing in which test cases are executed manually by a tester without using any automated tools. The purpose of Manual Testing is to identify the bugs, issues, and defects in the software application. Manual software testing is the most primitive technique of all testing types and it helps to find critical bugs in the software application. Any new application must be manually tested before its testing can be automated. Manual Software Testing requires more effort but is necessary to check automation feasibility. Manual Testing concepts does not require knowledge of any testing tool.

Manual testing is a software testing process in which test cases are executed manually without using any automated tool. All test cases executed by the tester manually according to the end user's perspective. It ensures whether the application is working, as mentioned in the requirement document or not. Test cases are planned and implemented to complete almost 100 percent of the software application. Test case reports are also generated manually. Software Testing can be manual or automated. In this course, the focus is on Manual Software Testing.

The main goal of Manual Testing is to identify the bugs, issues, and defects in the software application or a software module. Manual software testing is the most versatile technique and consists of all testing types that can identify critical bugs in a software application. Any new or existing application needs to be manually tested to make sure that it doesn't contain errors, the functionality is what the application is intended for, and the software works in all different scenarios. The application can only be automated once the manual testing is done and the identified bugs and issues have been resolved.

Manual Testing requires more effort but is also necessary to check automation feasibility. Manual Testing execution primarily does not require knowledge of any testing tool. Since Software Testing field is highly specialized and amongst the most sought fields in the IT Industry to help your application run smoothly, Software Testing Specialists and Engineers are in huge demand.

Manual Testing is one of the most fundamental testing processes as it can find both visible and hidden defects of the software. The difference between expected output and output in an application is defined as a defect. The process typically involves basic unit testing by the developers post which the testers identify the bugs and send to the developers for rectification, the developers fix the defects and then hand it over again to the testers for retesting.

Uplatz provides this end-to-end training on Manual Testing. This Manual Software Testing course will help the delegates to understand the core software testing principles from scratch and ultimately to get better at their software testing skills along with building a strong foundation in Manual Testing concepts, methodologies, and execution.

This Manual Testing course covers all manual testing concepts in detail with easy-to-understand examples. This software testing training is helpful for both professionals and freshers and from beginners to expert level users and will help you learn Manual Testing with practical scenarios. The Manual Testing Certification Training is designed to equip you with skills required to develop Test Cases and Test Scenarios involving specification-based (Black-Box testing) or experience-based (Defect guessing techniques) and ensuring a holistic Defect Management approach.

In this Manual Software Testing course, besides learning the fundamental testing concepts, you will also understand the typical Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and different types of models & activities involved. The course will then cover the complete Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) as well. The Manual Testing training prepares the delegates to follow the manual testing methodology. It provides you in-depth explanation on the application test life cycle management as well.

This Manual Software Testing course will help the student learn the software QA processes, and various types of manual testing such as functional testing, unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, black-box and white-box testing, system testing, re-testing, system integration testing, UAT, penetration testing, mutation testing, and so on, along with an in-depth description on requirements traceability.

Types of Manual Testing

• Black Box Testing
• White Box Testing
• Unit Testing
• System Testing
• Integration Testing
• Regression Testing
• Acceptance Testing
• Benefits of Manual Testing

Manual Testing provides the first review of an application so it's an starting point!

Manual Testing of an application identifies most of the issues, including the look and feel issues of the application. Visual components like text, layout, other components can easily be accessed by the tester, and UI and UX issues can be detected. It usually has a low cost of operation as we do not use any tools or high-level skills. Manual Testing is well-suited in case we make some unplanned changed to the application as it is adaptable. Individuals rather than machines, can better observe, judge, and also provide intuition in case of manual tests It is useful when it comes to user-friendliness and rich customer experience.
