Difference between Manual and Automation Testing


                 Manual Testing

                Automation Testing
1. Manual Testing is a process which is done manually.
1. Automation Testing is a process which is done by the help of automated tools.
2. All the famous phases of STLC like test planning, test deployment, result analysis, test execution, bug tracking and reporting tools are obviously comes under the category of Manual Testing and done successfully by human efforts.
2. In Automation Testing all the popular phases of STLC are done by various open sources and purchased tools like Selenium, J meter, QTP, Load Runner, Win Runner and so on.
3. Manual Testing is a start of Testing, without this testing we can’t start Automation Testing.
3. Automation Testing is a continuous part of Manual Testing.
4. In Manual Testing testers are allowed to do Random Testing to find the Bugs.
4. In Automation Testing we always test through Running Scripts.
5. In Manual Testing we find more bugs than automation by Error Guessing.
5. In Automation Testing we test the repetitive functionalities of the application.
6. It takes lot of time.
6. It takes less time.
7. Manual Testing would be run sequentially.
7. Automation Testing is done on different machines at same time.
8. Regression Testing process is tough in Manual Testing
8. Regression Testing process is easy in Automation Testing by Tools.
9. It is not expensive.
9. It is expensive.
10. More testers are required in Manual Testing because in this testing test cases need to be executed manually.
10. Few testers are required in Automation Testing because in this testing test cases need to be executed by using Automation Tools.
11. It gives low accuracy result.
12. It gives high accuracy result.
12. It is considered as low quality.
12. It is considered as high quality.
13. In this Testing we cannot do batch testing.
13. In this Testing we can do multiple types of batch testing.
14. It is considered as less reliable.
14. It is considered as more reliable.
15. No need of programming in Manual Testing.
15. Need of programming is must in Automation Testing.
16. It is done without interaction of any Tool.
16. It is always done using tools.

Introduction to Apache JMeter

Apache JMeter is a great open source application with awesome testing abilities. Web Server is a platform which carries loads of numbers of applications and users, so that it is necessary to know that how does it works or performs means; how effective it is to handle simultaneous users or applications. For example; how the “Gmail” supporting server will perform when numbers of users simultaneous access the Gmail account – basically have to do performance testing using performance testing tools like JMeter, Loadrunner etc. To check the high performance of the application or server, do high performance testing using JMeter for exceptional results. Before understanding Overview of JMeter , let us have a look on three testing approach, Performance Test : This test provides the best possible performance of the system or application under a given configuration of infrastructure. Very fast, it also highlights the change need to be made before application goes into prod...

Why Agentic AI is the Future of Functional Testing

A gentic AI (AI agents with autonomy and reasoning ability) is rapidly transforming software testing, especially functional testing . Let’s break it down clearly: 🧠 What Is Agentic AI? Agentic AI refers to autonomous AI systems that can: Understand goals (e.g., “verify all checkout flows work”) Plan and reason about how to achieve them Take actions like navigating UIs, generating test cases, or running automation scripts Adapt based on feedback or changing application states Unlike traditional AI (which performs fixed predictions or classifications), agentic AI can act , learn , and self-improve over time. ⚙️ Why It’s the Future of Functional Testing 1. Self-Generating and Self-Maintaining Tests Traditional automation struggles with maintenance — UI changes break scripts constantly. Agentic AI solves this by: Observing the app’s UI, flows, and APIs Generating relevant test cases automatically Adapting scripts when elements change (e.g., detecting a new but...
