What is Testing?
Testing is the process of improving the quality of Software or Software application.
Ways of Testing?
1.Manual Testing
2. Automation Testing
1.Manual Testing:
Manual Testing is a type of testing where testers manually test the application without using any automation Tools.
Drawbacks of Manual Testing:
1.Time Consuming
2.More resources are required
3.Tiredness of testers
4.Human Errors
5.Simultaneous actions are almost impossible
6.can not repeat same task again and again with same interest.
Note:To overcome Manual Testing drawbacks, Automation Testing is introduced.
2.Automation Testing:
Automation Testing is a Process where tester's have to write and execute a script which involves Automating of Manual process with the help of Automation Tools.
In Automation testing testers need to define the framework for application platform.
Benefits of Automation Testing:
1.Fast: It runs the test case faster than human beings.
2.Reusable: we can execute scripts in different releases.
3.Cost Reduction: It requires less no of resources and budget.
4.Accuracy: No tiredness hence possibility of good accuracy result is more.
Disadvantages of Automation Testing:
2.In all areas automation is not possible.
Difference b/w Manual & Automation Testing:
| Manual Testing |
Automation Testing |
|---|
| 1.Testing is implemented manually |
1.Testing is implemented by Tool |
| 2.It suit best to the application which have lesser no.of functionality. |
2.It suit best to the application which have more no.of functionality. |
| 3.Test development time is less
Eg:Test case development |
3.The development time is more.
Eg:Test Script development |
| 4.The test execution time is more. |
4.The test execution time is less. |
| 5.The test data needs to be provided Manually. |
5.The test data can generated by tool itself. |
| 6.The test reports can generated manually. |
6.The test reports can generated automatically. |
| 7.Defects need to be tracked manually |
7.Defects can be tracked automatically. |
| 8.Organization Point: The cost of Manual testing is less than Automation testing. |
8.Organization Point:The cost of Automation testing is higher than Manual testing. |
| 9. Programming knowledge is optional. |
9.Minimum programming knowledge is requires. |
