Overview
Let’s have a look at the challenges of Manual Testing. There are several challenges and disadvantages of Manual Testing.
Manual Testing is tedious.
Manual testing is tedious and takes a lot of effort.
Error-prone/Inaccurate
Humans make mistakes. Manual testing is error-prone and inaccurate in test results. Based on the experience of testers, test results might be inaccurate and error-prone. Humans make assumptions and might oversee defects in manual testing.
Boring
Repeatable tests are boring to manually execute. Testing the same set of test cases for every build is boring for most manual testers.
Slow / Time-consuming
Manual tests are executed by humans. Humans are slow when compared to computers. Manual testing takes a lot of time to execute the test cases.
High Costs
Manual testing requires human resources to run the tests. These are repeatable costs for each regression round of testing of the application build.
