Types of Testing
Introduction
Manual testing is a software testing technique that involves testing software applications manually by a human tester. It is a critical part of the software development lifecycle, and it can help to ensure that software applications are free of defects and meet the requirements of the stakeholders.
Types of Testing
There are many different types of manual testing, but some of the most common include:
Black box testing:?This type of testing involves testing the functionality of a software application without any knowledge of its internal workings.
White box testing:?This type of testing involves testing the internal workings of a software application, such as its code and data structures.
Unit testing:?This type of testing involves testing individual units of code, such as functions and classes.
Integration testing:?This type of testing involves testing how different units of code interact with each other.
System testing:?This type of testing involves testing the entire software application as a whole.
Acceptance testing:?This type of testing is performed by the customer or end user to ensure that the software application meets their requirements.
Conclusion
Manual testing is a valuable tool that can help to ensure the quality of software applications. It is important to choose the right type of manual testing for the specific application being tested, and to use a variety of testing techniques to ensure that all aspects of the application are tested.

1 年Serhat U?ar It would read so much better if "Manual" was removed. There is nothing "Manual" about "Testing" and "Testing" cannot be automated. You either test with or without the assistance of tools. "Testers" today need to be learning continuously that said an analysis needs to be done for every "Testing Activity" and once that's done a decision on whether to use a tool or not can be made. That terrible term "Manual" from the 1970s needs to be dropped by the community as it is only used to label people and really serves no other purpose. I too back in the day was indoctrinated into using that term until I came to realize the negative connotations that came with that term. Don't be stuck in the 70's. Testing activities and job postings for that matter should be defined by the skills that are required and not by labels. At the end of the day it's all "Testing". In our profession words do matter. I hope this helps.
