Why Testing? Testing is the integral part of software development life cycle. It is often said that testing is the fate line for any software application or product. This indicates the importance of testing in the industry. The top IT giants of the industry give maximum priority to their testers than even developers; because they understand that tester determines the quality of the end product. Hence they don’t hesitate to hire testers at much more wages for the industry. They often believe that in order to sustain in the market with prestige, they need to provide better products and for the same the importance of testers is unique and unmatched. Anyway, today we will discuss about the two basic types of testing methodologies and their importance in the industry.
Manual testing: From the name itself, we can assume the meaning and procedure of the testing methodology. Manual testing is the process in which a software application or product is being tested by a person or a group of testers without any machinery or software help. In other words we can say here the testers test the application using their experience and expertise. It is the primitive way of testing any application. Though the testers give their maximum effort to make the application bug free; but, it can’t be achieved in practical; because, there must be some loopholes in the application due to the human error. Moreover, the process is damn tedious and frustrating when we have a large application on board. It becomes even more time consuming and inefficient for complicated large scale applications.
Automation testing: The automated testing is the new era testing approach for efficient and quick testing. It eliminates all the drawbacks of that of a manual tester. This testing is done by a software application i.e. automation testing tools. Hence we can expect quick process. Moreover, the tester has the option to run a testcase repeatedly to avoid irritating iterative modules; because, once the automation tester writes a testcase, he can run it any time as per the requirement of the application. This is extremely beneficial when we deal with a huge application having several common modules embedded throughout the application. Moreover, we can avoid the human error through these testing tools. Automation testing tools can save both time and money through an efficient software tool for the testing process.
Industry demands for: This is the biggest question here, isn’t? Well, the answer is simple yet little descriptive. From outside, you can say that Automation testing is best; but it is not hundred percent correct. Because automation testing tools needs some initial investment to purchase the licence for commercial use. Hence for small applications like some static applications, or some small websites, it is recommended to use manual testing, because there we have less resource and the application can be easily handled by any tester. On the other hand, for complex or large scale applications, we have to rely on Automation testers, because here we need efficient testing that will be done in less time and hence increase the productivity to large extend.
