Types of Software Testing
Types of Software Testing
There are several software testing types, each serving a unique purpose. Let’s break down a few of the most common ones:
- Manual Testing
- Automation Testing
- Functional Testing
- Non-Functional Testing
Manual Testing
Manual Testing is a type of Software Testing in which the Manual testers manually execute the application test cases on the software application. There is a lot of manual effort involved in Manual Testing. Testers directly execute test cases without any help from tools.
Manual Testing involves testers manually executing test cases without using automation tools. It’s great for exploratory, usability, and ad hoc testing. However, it is time-consuming and requires a lot of effort.
Automation Testing
Automation Testing is a type of Software Testing in which an Automated Testing Tool executes the application test cases. In Automation Testing, testers use scripts and tools to automate the execution of test cases. It is perfect for regression testing, where we must run the same tests repeatedly.
