Manual Testing involves human testers executing test cases without the use of automation tools. This type of testing is crucial for exploratory, usability, and ad-hoc testing, where human intuition and observation are essential.Manual testing allows for thorough exploration and usability testing, while automation testing provides extensive coverage of repetitive and regression test cases. This ensures that all aspects of the application are tested.
Automation Testing on the other hand, uses software tools and scripts to automate repetitive test cases. This type of testing is ideal for regression, load, and performance testing, where repetitive execution and consistency are critical.Automation testing eliminates human errors and ensures consistent execution of test cases. This leads to more accurate and reliable test results.
