Manual Software Testing Vs Automation Software Testing


In an organization, a project process is having multiple stages of development and multiple stages of testing. A separate testing team is involving in software testing stage to validate corresponding software w.r.t  customer requirements(Functional Testing) and w.r.t customer expectations(Non-Functional Testing). During this software testing testers are testing software functionalities and characteristics by following Black box testing techniques and valid matrices in manual style or in automation style.

In general, tester can write test cases in english by following Black box testing techniques in IEEE829 formate, in MS-Excel or QC like management tool. Those cases in english will be converted to automated test scripts in computer languages by using testing tools.

From the above VV Model a software tester can study SRS to understand project requirements(domain knowledge). Software tester can conduct different types of tests on software to detect defects(testing knowledge). During software testing, testers can use some testing tools to finish testing as early as possible(programming knowledge).
Software tester needs programming knowledge for automation to integrate with corresponding SUT(software under testing) front-end screens and corresponding SUT back-end database.
