Software testing is a huge domain, but it can be broadly categorized into two areas which are manual
testing and automated testing. Testing is an integral part of any successful software project. The type of testing
(manual or automated) depends on various factors like including project requirements, budget, timeline, expertise,
and suitability. Three vital factors of any project are of course time, cost, and quality – the goal of any successful
project is to reduce the cost and time required to complete it successfully while maintaining quality output. When it
comes to testing, one type may accomplish this goal better than the other. Both manual and automated testing offers
benefits and disadvantages. It is worth knowing the difference and when to use one or the other for best results. This
paper discusses the difference between both technique and how these techniques are implemented.
