Although manual testing can be defined as any testing that is administered by one or more human beings and is done with hands, manual testing usually refers to trials of software to discover its capacities, characteristics, and defects that are commonly called bugs. Manual testing is opposed to automated testing that is run by another software that is designed specifically for automated testing.

The most of manual testing involves looking for bugs, user experience issues, and/or areas for improvements while manually performing actions on a website, mobile app or another end-user application.

The core tasks involved in manual testing include:

   Writing test cases
   Performing QA testing
   Reporting bugs and/or user experience issues

These tasks are the foundation of manual testing for both apps and websites.
