Answer / rituparna

I would like to add few more perspective to the above
answer...See,automation tools never think like humans
brain.It is not like just connect the application to the
tool and get the result.We have to create many scenarios
which can be used as the input to this tools.And we can
create scenarios using manual testing techniques.
Secondly,it is not feasible to automate each and every
application,automation best helps in regression
testing/retesting.
Automation tools needs experienced/trained personnels,which
in turn increases testing budget.
Thats why most of the companies go for manual testing
rather than automation testing.

Answer / rajesh.pothina

Yes ur write by using the automation tools we can do the
project fast but still we use manual because the automation
tools are too cost and all the companies cannot affort such
huge amount for the tools so most of the companies use
manual only.

Answer / bindu

hi
ya automation tools are too fast than a human brain but
we cannot use automation in every part of testing.the test
cases which are reusable needs to be automated bcoz
repetition is sometimes a tedious job.so at that time we go
for automation.at the same time as the tools are very
expensive most of the companies may not effort to buy
them.

Answer / rajkumar

reason for using manuak testin

1)Cost effective
2)automation cant be used where requirements changes
frequently.
3)automation can be used only when rquirements has gone
many refinements and changes comes to almost minimum
otherwise no use of automating a frequent requirement
changing product.
4)for example while the software has got some new additions
then we can test the already written codes by automation
(regression testing) and new codes by manual testing!!!

Answer / ravi

Even though automation of testing is faster than manual
testing,those tools can be used for the pre-specified test
cases only,So in s/w more changes can takes place due to the
change in requirements.So Before release only automation can
be done,until then irrespective of the com/cost of the
project manual testing only carried out..

Hi All, I am new in testing field. I got an interview and the question was asked- What would be your high level test case on the following scenario. There are 2 fields one is SCORE and other is GRADE and there is a go button. Scenario is If score is 90- 100 then grade should be A, if Score is 80-90 then B, if 70- 80 then C Else F. So I told that - I will check Boundary values by giving max +1 and min-1 values. I will check the functionality is working as per the requirement or not. I will include + and - testing. But seems like my answer was not correct, obviously because I don't have much experience. So plz provide me the best answer of this Q ? Thanks in advance. Preeti
