Manual testing is the one in which application testing happens manually. The test cases/scenarios are executed one by one by Testers (professional involved in software testing) manually without using any readymade tools, and then the results are verified.

Features:

• Manual testing of an application identifies most of the issues, including the look and feel issues of the application.
• Visual components like text, layout, other components can easily be accessed by the tester, and UI and UX issues can be detected.
• It usually has a low cost of operation as we do not use any tools or high-level skills.
• Humans can observe, judge, and also provide intuition in case of manual tests, and this is useful when it comes to user-friendliness or rich customer experience.
