Answer Posted / ajk

The only difference between manual and automation testing is
- manual testing is performed by physically running the test
cases where in automation test case runes by a automation tool.

There are limitations in both manual an automation say for
instance

one cannot run stress testing or load testing for web
application in manual teasing, practically it is not possible

where in automation one cannot test the font size and
background color test.

financial application involving security concern cannot be
tested automatically as most of the companies prefer manual
testing.

Above are just few examples to prove the limitations

Thanks

I know functional test cases are derived from frs and system design specs. But are test cases for performance, database, boundary, relational integrity and other types of tests other than functional tests created from frs and system design specs as well? When are these test cases created? Are they in the same test plans alongside functional test cases or is their a different test plan that includes these test cases?
