Kinds of Testing:
Manual testing
• Manual testing is a process where testers manually execute test cases without using any automation tools.
• The goal of manual testing is to ensure that the application is error free and it is working in conformance to the specified functional requirements.
Automation testing
• Automation testing which is also known as Test Automation, is when the tester writes scripts and uses another software to test the software.
• This process involves automation of a manual process. Automation Testing is used to re-run the test scenarios that were performed manually, quickly and repeatedly.
