Survey on Manual and Automation Testing strategies and Tools for a Software Application

Abstract

In the current Digital information age, Software industries, government organization and other IT industries has the priority of business across the world has focused on quality and reliability delivered software through process and technology. Quality of software is given with greater attention, which is resulting in reduction of software error in order to make quality software. In software engineering trend, software testing plays a significant role. Software testing is not a standalone process; it is series of steps for finding defects that is variance between expected result and actual result. This paper contributes the study which includes theoretical aspects about various software testing techniques, a discussion of different testing tools and its working by taking practical example. Through this paper, we analyse that how the test cases are prepared and applying in software application through manual and automation testing.

A Survey on Manual and Automation Testing

“…This method also reduces the risk when a new feature is added in the development lifecycle [6]. Ritu Patidar, Anubha Sharma and Rupali Dave proposes a 'Survey on Manual and Automation Testing strategies and Tools for a Software Application' [2]. This paper focuses on theoretical aspects software testing techniques and various testing tools.…”

“…This paper focuses on theoretical aspects software testing techniques and various testing tools. This paper discusses about manual testing and its disadvantages and automation testing [2]. Manual testing is the process of executing the tests plans manually by a human sitting in front of computer carrying out each step specified in the plan.…”

“…Several industries have adopted automation testing techniques for testing their products. Pros of automation testing is: overall efficiency is increased, test coverage is better when compared to manual testing, bugs related to GUI can be found easily when compared to manual testing [2]. Samiksha R. Rahate and Uday Bhave proposes 'A Survey on Test Automation'.…”

“…It is the main step carried before executing the test plans. Manual testing is done to ensure that the software being tested is error-free and bug free [2].…”

“…With the advent in software development and production in recent years, it has led to major concern over security and reliability of the application [2]. Software testing has become an important and crucial stage in the software development life cycle.…”
