Manual Vs Automation
This question is asked since ages that which one is better?
Although if a Software fils on FURPS, that means the software is good.
FURPS is Functionality, Usability, Reliability, Programmable & Supportability. To perform & Validate it, we use mainly Manual or Automation Testing.
We can't automate all Areas. The proportion can be 70% Manual and 30% Automation or can be 60/40 as per requirements/ Test Strategy.
Drawbacks of Manual Testing
1. Time Consuming
2. Chances of Errors as man is the Bundle of Mistakes.
3. More Resources required.
4. Repeatition of Task.
5. Parallel work/ Multi Tasking is not possible.
6. Tiredness
Advantages of Automation testing
1. Fast
2. Reliable
3. Repeatable
4. Reusable
5. Without Human Interaction.
Drawbacks of Autmation Testing
1. Expansive
2. Can't automate all areas
3. Lack of expertise
Automation is Beneficial
1. Test which need to execute every build of application (Sanity)
2. Using Multiple values (Re-Testing/ Data Drives/Database/xls file)
3. Load/ Stress measure.
Automation should not be done on
1. Usability Testing.
2. One Time Testing
3. Ad-hoc/ Smoke testing
4. Random Testing
5. Customer's requirements changing frequently.
