Manual Testing is a kind of testing where a software tester manually performs all the testing activities for a particular software. The purpose of conducting manual testing is to ensure quality by identifying defects and issues in the software. Manual testing is the mandatory method to verify any software application, all the bugs are identified in this testing. Any new software must undergo manual testing before any type of testing. Manual testing covers all the hooks and nooks of any software application. The main advantage of manual testing is to test the application like a user.
The main motive of manual testing is to ensure the application is defect-free and is by business requirements. The Test deliverables prepared during the testing phase must cover all the business specifications and all the functionality of the software. It also makes sure that if any defects are fixed by any developer, then the same is retested by the testing team. In manual testing, the tester ensures bug-free product delivery to customers or clients along with the checked quality of the system.

Acceptance Testing |
Web Testing generally checks for Functionality, Usability, Security, and performance of Web-based Applications or websites. Web Testing generally focuses on the below parameters:
1. Functionality
Tester should always check before any testing that the web-based Application/ Website fulfills the business requirements as mentioned by the clients. Test cases based on those requirements must be made covering all the aspects of the same. Test cases prepared must be meaningful enough and must cover all the functional and UI criteria. Tester should always check before any testing that the web-based Application/ Website fulfills the business requirements as mentioned by the clients. Test cases based on those requirements must be made covering all the aspects of the same. Test cases prepared must be meaningful enough and must cover all the functional and UI criteria.
2. Usability:
Usability is also known as User experience testing, to measure the user-friendly, easy-to-use. The navigation, such as buttons, click events and hover events. To check whether those functions are working as expected or not.
3. Performance
- This ensures the functioning of the site under various levels of stress/load. Testers must check the response of Web-based Applications/Websites under various connection speeds. Also, stress tests the breakpoint of the Web-based Application/ Website under excessive loads at peak times. The testing team should also verify the behavior of the software if any crash occurs.
- Manually the testers can verify the performance but Tools will be more useful and appropriate.
4. Security
- Security testing is important to expose the threats and vulnerabilities encountered the same and save our website from accidents such as data leakage.
- Security testing enhances the trust of users and the reliability of the Website.
- Manual testing of the security weakness will not give any false-positive and automated tools will also help.
1. Involvement of testing team during business requirement review - Testers involved in the review of business requirements can identify if there is any possible flaw in the requirement before the implementation of the same. At this stage, it will give testers a comprehensive knowledge of the product and the same will be helpful during the execution stage.
2. Testing team working parallel to understand the design of software - This will boost their knowledge of the methods implied and understanding of the structure of the software. Additionally, it will help them create enhanced scenarios for integration testing and raise high-quality defects.
3. Testers keep an eye on software at every level of its development - This will help testers to understand each part of the module. the testing team can plan for functional and non-functional testing to detect early defects.
4. Performing user acceptance testing before release of the same - It helps detect defects that have not been noticed or ignored for some reason.
