QASource's Top Manual Testing Posts

There’s no denying that automation and automated testing is winning the day. For teams using the Agile method, automation is the only way that repetitive testing can keep up with the pace of the team. It’s faster, more cost-effective, and less prone to human error, and it’s essential to running a large quantity of tests across a variety of different platforms in little time.

All that being said, there’s still a major case to be made for manual testing. Manual testing is really the only tried-and-true way to test for the end user, and it’s still worthwhile for any product company designing and delivering to humans.

At QASource, we keep a dedicated team of manual testers for several key reasons. They help us test from a human perspective, allowing us to truly capture the end user’s experience. They do exploratory testing and reveal the entire problem (not just one bug). And they take on the testing that may be too expensive to automate.
