Hire top-notch manual testers for your projects

Manual testing is a software testing process in which test cases are executed manually without using automated tools. And the execution of test cases is from the end user's perspective to ensure that the application works properly as desired.

Manual testing is the most primitive technique of all testing methods that aim to detect issues, bugs, and defects in the software application. Along with the test case execution, test case reports are also generated manually.

There are six types of manual testing that software development companies use for application testing, such as:

Black Box testing is used to examine the application functionality from the end-user perspective. This type of testing is named “Black Box" because the internal code structure of the software is not visible during the testing, and the testers are only aware of the inputs and expected outputs.

White Box testing is also known as transparent box testing or structural testing, which is used to test the internal structures of an application. It is performed by the developer before passing it to testers.

It aims to strengthen the security and improve the design and usability of the software. The fusion of Black Box and White Box testing is known as Grey Box testing.

Integration testing is the method of testing an application with two or more integrating components. It is used when the individual components have been unit-tested. It focuses on identifying problems with the interfaces and the interaction between them.

It uses two different methods: The bottom-up approach (that moves from the bottom module to the top module) and the Top-down approach (i.e., moving from the top module to the bottom).

As the name suggests, system testing means testing the system when all the components have been unit tested and integrated. It checks the whole application by comparing it to the original requirements.

System testing, also known as end-to-end testing, includes installability and recovery testing.

Unit testing is used to check the individual unit or components of an application’s source code. Usually, this testing is done by developers instead of engineers or testers because it requires detailed knowledge of the internal program design and code.

It is a kind of module testing or component testing that simplifies the debugging system and helps to detect and protect against bugs in the future.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is done by the end-user to ensure the software meets the agreed requirements. It is also known as pre-production testing, which works at the final phase before product deployment into the market.

UAT is an example of functional testing, and there are two types of acceptance testing: Alpha (executed within the organization) and Beta (where the application is released to a limited market to generate user feedback).

There are several benefits of manual testing, but here are some key points to know.

Manual testing enables testers to work with their higher cognitive abilities, such as deductive reasoning and common sense, to find software defects. It finds errors that automated testing might not be able to.

In manual testing, you don’t need to have good programming knowledge to understand requirements, document and execute test cases.

With manual testing, you can detect subtle bugs that automated testing can’t. Manual testers can spot issues that may not be evident, like visual consistencies or usability problems.

It allows you to test non-functional requirements like usability, performance, and security.

You can hire dedicated manual testers through SkillDB Talent Marketplace. Our listed talents are pre-screened by their parent company.

You can shortlist manual testers for your software through a quick overview of the talent’s profile, including their work expertise, skills knowledge, and past project details.

After that, you can submit your project requirements to hire your preferred manual tester, and we will help you connect with them.
