As the name suggested in manual testing, we do the testing without using any test tools to automate some part to the work. In typical manual testing, you will be given test cases in excel or uploaded to any other tool. Your job is to open the test case and the application under test. Then manually go through each step written in the test cases and perform accordingly.

I found this article very interesting in terms of talking about manual testing in a step by step manner.

Manual testing is the oldest and most rigorous type of software testing. Manual testing requires a tester to perform manual test operations on the test software without the help of Test automation. Manual testing is a laborious activity that requires the tester to possess a certain set of qualities; to be patient, observant, speculative, creative, innovative, open-minded, resourceful, unopinionated, and skillful.



There are several stages. They are

Unit Testing This initial stage in testing normally carried out by the developer who wrote the code and sometimes by a peer using the white box testing technique.

Integration Testing This stage is carried out in two modes, as a complete package or as a increment to the earlier package. Most of the time black box testing technique is used. However, sometimes a combination of Black and White box testing is also used in this stage.

System Testing In this stage the software is tested from all possible dimensions for all intended purposes and platforms. In this stage Black box testing technique is normally used.

User Acceptance Testing This testing stage carried out in order to get customer sign-off of finished product. A 'pass' in this stage also ensures that the customer has accepted the software and is ready for their use.
