We live in a time where software development is one of the primary industries driving the world. With that being said, producing high-quality software solutions is a must, if you want to compete in today’s markets. Having an established and pre-defined testing process is inevitable, as part of the whole equation.

While working on multiple projects, testers may miss out on testing certain features or functionalities, thus allowing bugs to pass into production. To prevent such omissions, we will learn how to create a practical checklist that details exactly what to test, check for, and verify.

In this session, we will cover what’s most important when it comes to testing a software, and explain why it`s vital to have both manual and automation testing incorporated.

What’s wrong with Manual Testing?
