Difference between Automation testing and manual testing.

Answer Posted / 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.
