Automatic Testing vs Manual Testing: A Quick Guide 🖥️🔍

 Hey everyone! Let’s dive into the world of QA and explore the differences between automatic and manual testing. 🛠️


AUTOMATIC TESTING

Automatic testing uses software tools to run tests on the code. Imagine a robot tirelessly checking every nook and cranny of the software! 🤖



Speed: Automated tests run quickly, saving time.

Repetition: Perfect for repetitive tasks, like regression testing.

Accuracy: Reduces human error.

Scalability: Can handle large volumes of tests simultaneously.


MANUAL TESTING

Manual testing involves real people using the software, looking for issues. Think of it as a detective carefully examining every detail. 🕵️‍♂️


User Perspective: Provides insights into the user experience.

Flexibility: Testers can explore and adapt tests on the fly.

Creativity: Humans can think of unique test scenarios.

Intuition: Human testers can notice subtle issues that automation might miss.


How QA uses both?

In a balanced QA plan, both methods are essential:


Automated Testing: For routine checks, large-scale testing, and frequent code changes.


Manual Testing: For exploratory testing, usability testing, and ensuring a great user experience.


Combining both approaches ensures a robust and reliable product, blending the efficiency of robots with the creativity of humans! 🌟


Q: Why use both types of testing?

A: Automated testing is fast and accurate, while manual testing provides valuable user insights and catches subtle issues.


Q: How does QA decide which to use?

A: QA plans typically use automation for repetitive and large-scale tasks, and manual testing for exploratory and user-focused tests.



Together, automatic and manual testing keep software quality top-notch! 🚀

  Hey Folks! 👋 This is Akhilesh Mishra, a final-year student at MITAOE, a mechanical engineer, and a huge fan of cricket 🏏. As I stand on the verge of completing my engineering journey, I can't help but reflect on the ups and downs I've experienced over the past four years. Each challenge and triumph has been a part of this incredible ride, and today, I want to share a pivotal story with you all. The Turning Point: A Lesson in Quality Assurance It was the second year of college, a time of great enthusiasm and ambition. My friends and I were working on a project called the Two-Wheeler Puncture Trolley Mechanism . The idea was simple yet innovative: a mechanism to lift bikes to a repair shop whenever a tire gets punctured. We were almost done with the model, buzzing with excitement as we took it near a bike to test it out. But then, disaster struck. As soon as we placed the bike on our model, it broke. All our efforts, late nights, and high hopes seemed to go down the drain. It
