Answer / santosh
(1)Manual Testing is Time consuming and tedious: Since test
cases are executed by so it is very slow.
Automated Testing is Fast Automation runs test cases
faster than human .
(2) Manual Testing is Huge investment in human resources: As
test cases need to be executed manually
Automated Testing is Less investment in human resources:
Test cases are executed by using automation tool

Pros of Automation
If you have to run a set of tests repeatedly, automation is a huge win for you.
It gives you the ability to run automation against code that frequently changes to catch regressions in a timely manner.
It gives you the ability to run automation in mainstream scenarios to catch regressions in a timely manner .
Aids in testing a large test matrix (different languages on different OS platforms). Automated tests can be run at the same time on different machines, whereas the manual tests would have to be run sequentially.
Cons of Automation
It costs more to automate. Writing the test cases and writing or configuring the automate framework you’re using costs more initially than running the test manually.
Can’t automate visual references, for example, if you can’t tell the font color via code or the automation tool, it is a manual test.
Pros of Manual
If the test case only runs twice a coding milestone, it most likely should be a manual test. Less cost than automating it.
It allows the tester to perform more ad-hoc (random testing). In my experiences, more bugs are found via ad-hoc than via automation. And, the more time a tester spends playing with the feature, the greater the odds of finding real user bugs.
Cons of Manual
Running tests manually can be very time consuming
Each time there is a new build, the tester must rerun all required tests - which after a while would become very mundane and tiresome.

Answer / vallala srinivas
Manual Testing: The entire testing was done by the human
efforts, It take much time to complete the whole testing
process, It is low cost, it requires huge amount of test
engineers.
Automation Testing: Here tools involved to test the
application instead of human efforts (QTP), It take less
time to complete the entire testing process, It is
expensive, It requires less amount of testers, here testers
has to use programming (conditional statements) syn taxes
like if, do, while, wend, select else-if etc and different
scripting languages like vb, java, shell or pearl.

Answer / shobbana
MANUAL TESTING:
1. Time consuming and tedious: Since test cases are executed
by human resources so it is very slow and tedious.
2. Huge investment in human resources: As test cases need to
be executed manually so more testers are required in manual
testing.
3. Less reliable: Manual testing is less reliable as tests
may not be performed with precision each time because of
human errors.
4. Non-programmable: No programming can be done to write
sophisticated tests which fetch hidden information.
AUTOMATED TESTING:
1. Fast Automation runs test cases significantly faster than
human resources.
2. Less investment in human resources:Test cases are
executed by using automation tool so less tester are
required in automation testing.
3. More reliable: Automation tests perform precisely same
operation each time they are run.
4. Programmable: Testers can program sophisticated tests to
bring out hidden information.

Answer / sandhiya m
Manual Testing: It is actually done with the help human.
It is time consuming process.
human efforts are required.
we, the human cannot check with al possibilities and cannot complete before releasing of the product or application.
Automation Testing: It is done using software tools.
It doesn't take much time to complete the testing process.
Human efforts are not required.
Testing completes before releasing of the product.

Answer / sravan kumar
Manual testing is a process in which all the six phrases of
the software testing life cycle like test planning,test
dovelopment,test execution,result analysis,bug tracking and
reporting are done sucessfully and manually with human
efforts. where as in automation testing these things are
done by tools like qtp and win runner.
without manual testing there is no automation testing.
