Script
- 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-powered systems to discover their capacities, characteristics, and defects that are commonly called bugs. Manual testing is opposed to automated testing that is run by some testing software. This software is specifically 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. Those actions may be done occasionally or specifically.
- The most of occasional testing is performed by end-users who routinely use the software-powered systems. Any organization that runs these systems either gets or may consider getting feedback from the end-users; this feedback may be used to improve the systems.
- The specifically-arranged testing is usually performed by human testers; they usually work on four types of tasks. These testers may (a) plan testing, (b) write test cases, (c) perform the testing, and (d) report the identified bugs, user experience issues, and/or areas for improvement.
- The occasional testing involves neither planning nor writing test cases; however, occasional testers either report or, in some cases, correct the bugs and other issues. For instance, you are welcome to improve any text that you see on CNM Wiki with or without any report.
