Manual Testing

Manual testing is a vital aspect of the QA process across all industry verticals. In some cases, like graphical user interface testing, a manual approach may show better results than automated testing. When talking about tests involving complex functionality and features being continuously developed, manual testing may be the only way to provide guaranteed results.

Our experts have decades of experience in manual testing. We apply verified practices and rigorous methodologies to detect all critical defects in your software. All of this, combined with our exploratory techniques and intuition, serves one purpose: to ensure that your customers and end users have a solution that runs properly.

However, the best possible outcome is achieved when applying a smart combination of manual and automated testing.

When to Test Manually

  • User interface testing
  • Usability testing
  • Error handling testing
  • User acceptance testing
  • Security testing
  • Installation testing

Benefits of Manual Testing

  • Large coverage
  • Flexibility
  • Value cost (Lower testing costs without sacrificing quality)
  • Human approach

Automated Testing

Effective use of automated tools in software testing can significantly reduce costs, decrease time-to-market and consolidate resources. With thirty years of experience in all types of quality assurance, we offer the entire cycle of automated testing services – from planning tests to final product release and approval. 

Benefits of Automated Testing

  • Time-saving and cost reduction: The process speeds up because testing can be performed 24/7 even during night hours or weekends without the presence of QA engineers. You can be sure to have the on-time release.
  • Improved test coverage: Every release brings more features to be tested. Test automation makes it much easier. Our specialists will update the tests to cover all possible scenarios.
  • Increased productivity and efficiency of QA resources: With fewer efforts and less time required for automated tests, QA engineers can cover more cases with manual tests running simultaneously.
  • Prevention of human errors: No risk to miss some step or phase with automated tests and scenarios execution.
