Manual testing

When to use manual testing

Software testing is a well-planned complex of conscientious work. The earlier we start testing, the more time we have left for the release and prevent a huge pile of bugs. For instance, our manual testing company can say five reasons why and when you need to use manual testing:

• 01

  When the main scope of business or functional requirements is prepared, our QA-team can perform static testing. It is a technique, which can help us find mistakes, defects, discrepancies, and illogical statements in requirements before any code is written or executed.

• 02

  When the functionality is done, only manual testing will be run first to ensure that all requirements are covered, the behavior of feature working as expected, and feature meets the client expectations.

• 03

  After customer-caught errors receiving we can use manual testing for quick reproducing of what happened and create a bug report including missed details, which are important for fixing.

• 04

  When the manual functional testing is finished, our QA-team can start to prepare a regression test suit and improve existing test cases. Only, if this phase of manual testing is done, we can start our test automation process.

• 05

  When requirements are ready, our QA-team can start to prepare manual test scripts or test cases using the most effective test-design techniques such as specification-based or black-box techniques and plan every phase of testing. 

•  

That gives us a good opportunity to avoid a huge quantity of unnecessary or illogical tests and allows us to highlight the most important testing scenarios, while developers can prepare the future development environment. I would like to emphasize that we have already been able to prepare the main part of future manual runs without running the code. It is important because we are ready to start manual testing and give fast feedback about the state of functionality, which helps the development team immediately to resolve a lot of probable issues.
