Oversikt
Manual and automated testing are two core approaches used to validate software quality. Each has its strengths and ideal use cases, and most development projects benefit from a strategic combination of both.
Manual Testing
Manual testing involves human testers executing test cases without using automation tools. It’s ideal for:
- Exploratory testing and edge-case scenarios
- Usability and user experience validation
- Initial stages of new feature development
Pros
- Flexible and adaptive
- Provides human insight
- Easier to get started
Cons
- Time-consuming
- Prone to human error
- Less scalable
Automated Testing
Automated testing uses scripts and tools to run tests across codebases, often integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Best suited for:
- Regresjonstesting
- Large-scale and repetitive test cases
- Performance and load testing
Pros
- Fast execution
- Repeatable and consistent
- Scalable across environments
Cons
- Higher upfront setup cost
- Requires maintenance
- Limited in testing visual/UI nuance
