Manual Testing Software Engineer

Manual testing is a crucial process in software engineering that involves manually executing test cases to identify defects. It is particularly important for UI/UX validation and exploratory testing, and includes various types such as smoke, integration, and user acceptance testing. While it offers advantages like better visual feedback and cost-effectiveness for small projects, it can be time-consuming and prone to human error.
