Manual testing is performed by a testing engineer. The tester manually prepares data sets, conducts software testing, identifies bugs, and writes reports without using any tools and scripts. Manual testing may not be accurate due to human factors, take more time and resources, but some tests as usability testing you can't conduct automatically.
Automated testing requires scripts and code for automation to verify test cases. Testing engineers write code and based on this code run automation testing. This type of testing enables you to simulate complex scenarios and increase the productivity of your team. On the other hand, you can't automate all scenarios, like exploratory testing, and the cost of automatization is too high compared with manual testing.
Thus, manual and automation testing should be performed in conjunction.


A working principle of black-box testing is similar to its name.
Testers are interested in data input and output, excluding internal program structure.
For engineers, a program code, design, and internal structures are a black box in which testing is not conducted.
Also, black-box testing covers performance and usability issues, functionality from the user's perspective, the system's interaction with the inputs, etc.
Among other advantages are independence between developers and testers, test cases can be designed as soon as software functional specifications are complete, acceptance for a large system.
On the other hand, a beginner's lack of technical knowledge can lead to an omission of possible test cases to be tested.



The current pandemic situation has created new and amplified existing problems for IT companies.
Specifically, we’ve witnessed a huge shift in the execution of quality assurance and testing in terms of operations, resourcing, and way of working.Software testing is making many great moves recently.
Now in such a scenario, enterprises and businesses must keep an eye on emerging technologies and software testing trends the year ahead!To help you take your software testing game to the next level, check out these software testing trends that will rule 2021.Codeless Automated Testing is going to rule!
Designed and built using Artificial Intelligence and visual modeling technology, codeless testing tools help software testing companies to formulate test cases catering to test automation.
While the principles of Agile can be applied effectively in software development and quality assurance, DevOps can help teams with better version control, testing, and setting up a production environment.Increasing demand for IoT and Big Data testing.
In the future, the software testing and quality assurance market will demand higher performance, better security, compatibility, and data integrity testing.
