Manual Software Testing Services

Manual Software Testing Services: Why It Is Important

Manual testing is a type of software testing that uses manual methods rather than automated tools. Although this is the most basic method, its effectiveness is proven. When running manual tests, the quality assurance (QA) team investigates the software from the user’s point of view. That means that the professionals go through every product feature and test its functionality manually.

Compared to other testing techniques, manual testing takes a lot of effort and time. It is like conducting thorough research that requires preparation, setting requirements, plan creation, test execution, and analyzing the results. However, the advantages of this method will not leave you disappointed. And here they are:

Enhanced user experience. Manual testers can analyze the platform as if they were real users. They can compare whether it meets users’ expectations or lacks some improvement. During this type of testing, QA specialists can recognize whether the appearance of the software is attractive, whether you used the right fonts in your user interface (UI), or whether you set the right button location.
Better bug detection. The human eye can spot very small details and discover the slightest type of incongruity. In contrast with automated testing, which runs according to set algorithms, the QA team is viewing every scenario possible during manual testing. And exactly while they try to do something unusual on the platform, new issues become visible.
Improved cooperation and saved time and money. You can agree on short-term or long-term cooperation by hiring a manual testing team like White Test Lab. Having manual testers by your side throughout the development journey can save you time, as they will already be familiar with your product.

By neglecting to conduct manual testing, you can risk your product’s functionality and effectiveness. As investigating the software manually is a very comprehensible method, it covers all functional and non-functional aspects of the platform. And if, during automated testing, some of the areas like accessibility can be neglected, QA manual specialists will not lose sight of them. Not applying this testing technique can result in failure in the future. Manual investigation helps detect issues in the early stages and prevents the whole workflow from being imperfect.

Manual QA testing can solve various issues at different levels of software quality. As the primary function, the professional team will discover bugs and defects during the procedure. And you don’t want your product to be glitchy or malfunctioning. Manual testing ensures your software can be equally accessed from different devices, as for mobiles and desktops, the general appearance differs. Also, it is suitable for people with special needs.

What Is Included in Manual Testing in White Test Lab?

No matter what kind of platform you are trying to build, we've got you covered. Our QA team can test mobile, web, and desktop products.

Manual Mobile Testing

The complexity of creating software for mobile devices is that there are multiple types of mobile phones and operating systems with different peculiarities. But this is not a challenging task for us. Our specialists have years of experience in mobile manual testing, so you can rest assured that users with any phone can equally utilize your bug-free product.

Manual Testing Web Applications

Even if you are building a one-page website for your business, it doesn’t allow you to close your eyes to broken links or misprints. Our professional QA team has already manually tested many websites. And the results revealed various issues that, if not fixed, could have turned a website into a non-usable portal.

Manual Testing Desktop

Desktop applications are also among the ones that require professional testing. Manual testers from our company can go through every application feature you plan to release in the desktop version. After their diligent work, you and your users will enjoy the app.

Types of Manual Testing We Perform

At White Test Lab, we provide various types of manual testing services.

Functional Testing
As a part of black box testing techniques, functional testing allows you to test software for its functionality. The main purpose of conducting functional testing type is to check every feature of the platform and whether it works according to the requirements. While this type of manual testing is the core one, it doesn't cover all the details like appearance or accessibility.
UI Testing
Our QA engineers also conduct manual user interface testing. This procedure refers to checking the visual side of the platform: how the color scheme is suitable for the mobile app, whether the fonts are chosen right, how the buttons look, and so on. Despite UI testing estimating the platform's aesthetic, it doesn't give a detailed overview of the product's performance. So you might want to combine some types of manual testing to receive comprehensible results.
Localization Testing
As the name implies, localization testing is the process of verifying that the platform is correctly translated and that the currency, data, and format are displayed in the appropriate formats. For some software owners, this method might not be applicable if they are not planning to give access to the platform to non-English speaking audiences.
Acceptance Testing
User acceptance testing (UAT) is performed in the final stages of testing. This type of main concept is used to test the platform with end users. The users can be clients or other chosen people. This is a great chance to get feedback on how the platform performs from the audience's point of view. However, it will not give you a complete and precise description of the issues, if there are any.
Compatibility Testing
A high-quality website or application should work on different platforms. So during compatibility testing, we check how your product works on real and even virtual devices to predict any issues that might prevent users from enjoying convenient usage. However, this type of website testing only focuses on learning how software performs when run in different environments without getting into details.
Regression Testing
The main purpose of regression testing is to re-run all functional and non-functional aspects of the platform. This is performed only after implementing new features to see whether the changes didn't trigger any old bugs and are fully integrated into the system. Regression testing is an additional type of testing that can't substitute for core testing types like functional or compatibility testing.
System Testing
Under system testing, our specialists investigate the program as a system and whether all its functions are being implemented together. For example, each part of the product can work flawlessly. However, being integrated into a system of functions might not work properly or interfere with other elements.
