Manual Testing
Manual Testing is a type of software testing which involves the testing of software, manually, without the use of automated tools. It is the most primitive technique for testing a software, but helps in finding the critical bugs in the application. A new application has to go through the manual steps before making it to the automated cycle. Although it requires more effort, but it is necessary to check automation feasibility. Some of its concepts include (i) Acceptance Testing (ii) Black Box (iii) White Box (iv) Unit Testing (v) System Testing and the (vi) Integration Testing.
In this Manual Testing course from Uplatz, the learners will be able to learn the fundamentals of testing, Software Development Models, Test Design Techniques, Test Management and Tool Support for Testing. After enrollment with this course, learners will be well versed with the testing procedure of a software as well as the complete life cycle involved in it.
