Manual software testing is the process where human testers manually check software applications for defects or issues. Unlike automated testing, it doesn't rely on scripts or tools. Instead, testers navigate the software just as a user would, identifying any problems that might affect the user experience. This hands-on approach allows for a deeper understanding of how real users will interact with your product.
For start-ups and small businesses, manual testing is essential to ensure your software meets customer expectations. It helps uncover usability issues and functional errors that automated tests might miss. By focusing on manual testing, you can deliver a more polished product, enhance customer satisfaction, and build a strong reputation for quality from the outset.
We begin by immersing ourselves in your business and software. This step involves understanding your product's features, target audience, and your overall goals.
Next, we outline what needs testing and set clear quality goals. This helps us focus on the areas that matter most to your users and business.
We craft a bespoke testing strategy tailored to your product. This plan details the testing methods and resources we'll use to ensure thorough coverage.
Here, we create detailed test cases that cover all functionalities. Documenting these cases ensures consistency and provides a roadmap for the testing process.
We collaborate closely with your team to align our efforts. Regular communication ensures we're all on the same page and can address issues promptly.
Finally, we execute the tests and analyse the results. We provide clear reports highlighting any issues and recommend actionable steps for improvement.
