Manual Testing Basics

Manual Testing Basics

Manual testing is a type of software testing where test cases are executed manually by a tester

without using any automation tools.

1. Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

- SDLC is the process followed for software development.

- Phases include: Requirements gathering, Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment, and

Maintenance.

2. Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)

- STLC is the sequence of specific actions performed during the testing process.

- Phases: Requirement Analysis, Test Planning, Test Case Development, Test Environment Setup,

Test Execution, Test Cycle Closure.

3. Bug Lifecycle

- New -> Assigned -> Open -> Fixed -> Retest -> Verified -> Closed

- Reopened if the issue persists

4. Types of Testing

- Smoke Testing

- Sanity Testing

- Regression Testing
- Functional Testing

- Integration Testing

- System Testing

- Acceptance Testing

- Non-Functional Testing (Performance, Load, Usability)

5. Test Case Example

Test Case ID: TC_01

Test Case: Login with valid credentials

Steps:

1. Navigate to login page

2. Enter valid username and password

3. Click on login button

Expected Result: Dashboard page should appear

6. Test Plan Components

- Objective

- Scope

- Resources

- Environment

- Deliverables

- Schedule

7. Real-time Challenges

- Missing documentation

- Changing requirements
- Time constraints

- Communication gaps

8. Best Practices

- Understand requirements

- Write clear test cases

- Communicate bugs effectively

- Use test management tools

This guide provides a strong foundation for beginners in manual testing.
