An overview
In this section, we will provide an overview of manual testing. Therefore, let’s begin.
Manual testing refers to the process of manually testing software for defects or bugs. In addition, it requires a tester to play the role of an end-user whereby they use most of the application’s features to ensure correct behavior.
How to do Manual Testing?
Understand The Requirements
Firstly, in order to successfully conduct manual tests, you need to understand the requirements of the software. In other words, you should what needs to be tested and what classifies a defect.
Write Test Cases
Secondly, once you understand the requirements, you can write test cases. It is highly important to write good test cases so that the execution goes smoothly and ensures good test coverage.
Conduct The Tests
After that, once you write the test cases and create the testing environment, it’s time to begin testing. Using TestLodge, you can follow the test cases and mark each test as “passed”, “failed, or “skipped”. When performing manual testing, keep notes on what happens when a test fails.
Log Good Bug Reports
Further, the tester is responsible for logging bugs. As you encounter bugs, you need to log information for the development team about the defect. Writing good bug reports helps you and your team. You’ll save yourself time when answering questions about the bug later.
Report On The Test Results
Lastly, after running tests, it’s good to know the results of the tests at a high level. How many tests were run? How many tests failed? How many tests were skipped? TestLodge makes it easy to get a quick glance at these metrics.
