Manual Testing Services

Using People to Test Applications to Ensure a Good User Experience

Manual Testing is the oldest and most stringent form of testing software products. As the name suggests, the products/components are tested for functionality without using an automated tool or script. Manual Testing involves the tester using all application features in the same way as an end-user would discover any unexpected behaviors or bugs in the system. The program is less susceptible to machine faults when test cases are executed manually.

Manual testing is a software testing process that adapts easily to changes and new challenges. Experienced testing professionals can quickly detect defect patterns and easily distinguish them from minor deviations.

Development of automated tests should start when it is necessary to run tests repeatedly to maintain the stability of the code.

Why Manual Testing?

Manual testing may seem like a simple set of actions, but good manual testing is an interactive, exploratory process. We take a systematic approach when manually testing your software to maximize the number of defects found. We start by defining a testing strategy and then creating a test plan and detailed test cases so that no application features are missed. To check the software completely, one of our testers plays the role of the end-user to test all the software features manually. By doing this, QA can ensure that the software is running correctly, and if not, what parts are defective. Different stages of manual software testing include unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing. The difference between the actual and expected results is analyzed, compared, and reported as defects. From these results, we can offer you advice and direction on achieving efficiently running software to answer your business needs.

Manual testing is appropriate for the entire testing process, whereas automation testing should be focused on stabilized portions. Although test automation is a popular form of software testing, it is no substitute for manual testing. Your code always needs to be put through manual testing before it can be automated, and some parts of a system are not appropriate for automated tests. So although testing can be automated in parts, manual testing will always remain a part of the software development lifecycle.

Manual testing is also the most effective method for User Interface Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Usability Testing, testing of Error Handling, Installation, and Security.

Manual Testing Services – Our Approach

At QAT Global, our manual testers have years of exposure to testing software manually. Apart from a deep understanding of program functionality, our manual testers are exceptionally patient, observant, open-minded, and resourceful, allowing them to perform your manual testing consistently and thoroughly. Our manual testers go through your code in great detail to develop appropriate test environments, test plans, and test cases to achieve your quality goals. We are proficient in manual testing using the waterfall model, agile model, static/dynamic testing, or functional/non-functional testing.
