Manual Testing

 Manual testing is the process of manually evaluating a software application or system to identify defects or bugs. It is done by a human tester, who interacts with the software and performs a series of test cases to verify that it functions as intended. Manual testing is often performed during the early stages of the software development process and is used to find defects that may not be detected by automated testing.

Manual testing can include a variety of different test types, such as functional testing, usability testing, compatibility testing, and performance testing. Functional testing involves testing the software's functionality and determining whether it meets the requirements. Usability testing evaluates the software's user interface and determines whether it is easy to use. Compatibility testing checks if the software is compatible with different hardware and software configurations. Performance testing measures the software's response time and resource usage under different loads.

Manual testing has some limitations, such as it can be time-consuming and prone to human error, but it is still a valuable method for testing software as it allows testers to explore the software in a way that an automated test can't.
