Is the Future of Manual Software Testing in Jeopardy?
- 1. Future of Manual Software Testing
- 2. Introduction to Software Testing ï Manual Software Testing is one type of software testing in which a tester manually execute the test cases. ï The tester does not use any automated testing tools. He manually do the testing work. ï Software may consist of several bugs or errors, so the software tester identifies those bugs or errors in software. ï You must test Software before it goes live. It is to avoid abnormal behavior of the software. ï Manual testing requires more effort than automatic testing, but still, it should be performed.
- 3. Manual Software Testing Process Analyze Requirements After knowing the purpose of the software and how it should be performed, start your work Create Test Plan Build a testing process and inform all testers, and developers that this is how the work is to be done. Create a Test Case Write test cases and share them with the team for further discussion. Defect Logging If some bug or error is found during testing, then record it. You should mark that item as a fail. Defect Fixing Fix the founded bugs or errors and retest the system for re- verification. It is your responsibility. Execute Test Case Execute the test cases you wrote earlier. Your focus should be on achieving the stated objectives.

- 5. Is the Future of Manual Software Testing in Jeopardy? ï History has it then whenever a machine replaces humans, thousands of other opportunities crop up for the man. However, this requires the man to be quick at learning new things. ï For example, think of the time when computers started paving the way in offices and replacing traditional processes. But, agile professionals who learned the Software and manual software testing overcame the threat of losing a job. ï In recent times, the mobile application and Software industry has been experiencing some breakthrough technological inventions. It does not imply that developers are not required, but that manual work is limited. ï A person testing one product manually might now be required to use automated means to check a couple of Software.
- 6. The Case ï On paper and in the news, it seems that manual testing might not have a bright future. More and more companies are relying on Software that is way more efficient than humans and can work ten to a hundred times faster than us. But, the reality is different. ï Companies providing Software testing services always looks for the talented software testers. ï If you open any job portal, there are many job openings for manual testers in such companies that offers Software testing services. 1
- 7. Present vs. Future ï As long as the end-users are humans, it is impossible for manual testing to perish. The reason is the simple human touch. ï We do not need to be programmed to find a certain type of error. We know what is wrong. ï For example, the eLearning industry employs Lacs of people who create courseware that is tested. The end users are students (humans), so a machine testing that product might miss important issues that a man can easily catch. ï Entirely Automating testing is not what I foresee, but limiting human involvement to aspects that Software cannot take care of is a possibility. 2
- 8. The Verdict ï Companies that make use of Software testing services are well-aware of the shift that they might be required to make in case of business requirements. ï For now, manual testers should not worry about job loss but focus on re-skilling themselves. ï Companies are required to provide cross- training opportunities to employees so that they can learn whatâs trending and benefit the company with minimum investment. It is a result of saving money and effort in hiring individuals from outside. ï It serves the dual purpose of retaining employees, saving oneself from bad publicity from firing employees, and benefitting from their services with minimum investment. 3
