Manual Testing Tutorial for Beginners - Goal of Manual Testing



Manual testing is the process of manually testing software for defects. It requires a tester to play the role of an end user whereby they utilise most of the application's features to ensure correct behavior. The Manual Testing is very basic type of testing which helps to find the bugs in the application under test. It is preliminary testing, must be carried out prior to start automating the test cases and also needs to check the feasibility of automation testing.

Test Plan

The Test Plan is created & followed by the tester to ensure that the comprehensiveness of testing while executing the test cases manually without using automation testing tool.

Technical Skills

It is not necessary to have knowledge of any testing tool for manual software testing. As the Software testing fundamental always says that “100% Automation is not possible” so the Manual Testing is very important.

Goal of Manual Testing

The main Goal of Manual Testing is to make sure that the application under test is defect free and software application is working as per the requirement specification document.

This type includes the testing of the Software manually i.e. without using any automated tool or any script. In this type, tester takes over the role of end user and test the Software to identify any un-expected behavior or bug. There are different stages for Manual Testing like Unit testing, Integration testing, System testing and User Acceptance testing.

A test plan document is created by test lead which describes the detailed and systematic approach to testing a software application. Basically the test plan typically includes a complete understanding of what the ultimate workflow will be. To ensure the completeness of testing (100% test coverage) test cases or test scenarios are created. Manual Testing Concepts also includes exploratory testing as testers explore the software to identify errors in it

After the testing is started the designed test cases or test scenarios will be executed & any differences between actual & expected results are reported as defects. Once the reported defects are fixed, the testers will retest the defect to make sure that the defects are fixed. The main goal of Software testing is to make software defect free & deliver good quality Product to customer.

Manual Testing types:




Conclusion

Testers need to play a role same as end user & execute the all test cases as per the end users point of view. In this article we have seen about the “What is manual testing?”, Goal of manual testing. Meet you all with another one important topic in Software Testing.

Complete Topics to be a Professional Hadoop Developer


Four V’s of Big Data
Volume:
The amount of data. While volume indicates more data, it is the granular nature of the data that is unique. Big data requires processing high volumes of low-density, unstructured Hadoop data—that is, data of unknown value, such as,
Twitter data feeds, click streams on a web page and a mobile app, network traffic, sensor-enabled equipment capturing data at the speed of light, and many more. 
It is the task of big data to convert such Hadoop data into valuable information. For some organizations, this might be tens of terabytes, for others it may be hundreds of petabytes.
Velocity:
The fast rate at which data is received and perhaps acted upon. The highest velocity data normally streams directly into memory versus being written to disk.

AWS Certifications - Types of AWS Certifications

Image
AWS certifications are aligned to two broad streams – Solutions Architect and DevOps Engineer. The Solutions Architect stream is well defined; you should first bag the Solutions Architect – Associate certification followed by the Solutions Architect – Professional certification. But if you choose to certify yourself as an AWS DevOps Engineer, you have to either clear the Developer – Associate certification or the System Operations (SysOps) Administrator – Associate certifications. Of course, you should choose based on your current job or the stream of specialization you aspire for. Alternatively, AWS allows you to containerize its suite of certifications into three blocks – Solutions Architect,Developer and SysOps. While Solutions Architect is an independent stream in itself, a Developer and/or SysOps Associate certification can lead you to a DevOps Engineer certification.
