Of course! I can provide you with some information about manual testing.

Manual testing is a type of software testing where testers manually execute test cases without the use of any automation tools. It involves the tester's understanding of the software application, its features, and user expectations to identify defects or bugs.

Here are some key points about manual testing:

Test Planning: Testers analyze the requirements, create test cases, and plan the overall testing strategy.
Test Execution: Testers execute test cases step by step, following predefined test scenarios to validate the functionality of the software application.
Defect Reporting: When a defect or bug is identified during testing, testers report it in a defect tracking system along with detailed steps to reproduce it.
Regression Testing: After fixing reported defects, testers retest the modified functionality to ensure that no new issues have been introduced.
Exploratory Testing: Testers perform ad-hoc testing by exploring different areas of an application to uncover defects that may not be covered by predefined test cases.

#

Usability Testing: Testers evaluate how user-friendly and intuitive an application is by assessing its ease of use, navigation, and overall user experience.
Compatibility Testing: Testers verify if the application works correctly across different devices, operating systems, browsers, and network conditions.
Performance Testing: Testers measure and evaluate how well an application performs under various load conditions to ensure it meets performance requirements.
Security Testing: Testers assess the security aspects of an application by identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring data protection measures are in place.
Documentation: Throughout the testing process, testers document their findings, including test plans, test cases, defect reports, and any other relevant information for future reference.

Manual testing requires human intervention at every step and allows testers to think critically while exploring different scenarios that may not be covered in automated tests. It also provides valuable insights into the user experience and helps ensure the software meets customer expectations.

I hope this gives you a good overview of manual testing. Let me know if you have any more specific questions!

#

thanks

#

hiii

#

so i dont have a programming background or a coding background, but i still wanna learn how to do manual application testing within a month

#

is that possible, if yes how?

#

if no, why?

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

whats ur goal though?

#

to apply to a company as tester?

#

to test ur friends app?

#

to write and test ur own app?

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

yeah i know a company

#

that is hiring

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

can u share their job application? the term "tester" is very vague and what exactly it will mean for them can be very different to others

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

i sent them my email

#

they'll send more information related to the job later

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

but could u share what they already published?

#

im sure it didnt just say "hey, we are looking for a tester."

#

and thats it

harsh owl Nov 28, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

hiya !

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

omg hii broo\

harsh owl Nov 28, 2023, 2:53 PM

#

i agree, they must have published something

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

ashen topaz im sure it didnt just say "hey, we are looking for a tester."

nah tbh i called

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

it really depends on what exactly would be ur role there. some stuff requires a lot of knowledge, other stuff not

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

so i cant remember what exactly they said

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

but u said they were hiring, so theres probably some sort of job ad?

#

also, could u provide context? what kind of product is it?

#

a website? a desktop app? a backend/api? a mobile app? sth else?

#

some testers just go through checklists and see if the end product works as expected by clicking around. that usually doesnt require any extra knowledge - but compensation is also minimal

#

others write automated test procedures, which is code. they need to be coders with years of experience

#

and so on

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

ashen topaz also, could u provide context? what kind of product is it?

uhh is that okay if i tell you once the provide me full info?

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

ur question is too vague to be answered if u dont provide us anything to work with

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

ashen topaz some testers just go through checklists and see if the end product works as expe...

dmamm that exists?

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

i mean, literally anything would help

#

im not sure why u dont share something

#

even if u think it doesnt contain info, it likely does

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

ashen topaz im not sure why u dont share something

i dont have much tho?

ashen topaz Nov 28, 2023, 2:56 PM

#

and likely enough to be able to tell u whether u can get the job or not with zero exp

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

i just called the person who said he'll provide the job

#

and he said he'll send all the info related to the job by tonight

harsh owl Nov 28, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

spongehmm

#

let's wait then

full rock Nov 28, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

#

is that okay if i create another questions thing later?

harsh owl Nov 28, 2023, 2:58 PM

Your question has been closed due to inactivity.

If it was not resolved yet, feel free to just post a message below
to reopen it, or create a new thread.

Note that usually the reason for nobody calling back is that your
question may have been not well asked and hence no one felt confident
enough answering.

When you reopen the thread, try to use your time to improve the quality
of the question by elaborating, providing details, context, all relevant code
snippets, any errors you are getting, concrete examples and perhaps also some
screenshots. Share your attempt, explain the expected results and compare
them to the current results.

Also try to make the information easily accessible by sharing code
or assignment descriptions directly on Discord, not behind a link or
PDF-file; provide some guidance for long code snippets and ensure
the code is well formatted and has syntax highlighting. Kindly read through
https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask for more.

With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure 👍

HEEYY!!

#

got the email

#

its QA automation job

ashen topaz Nov 29, 2023, 3:35 PM

#

thats all the mail contained?

#

no extra details or description?

#

and with which framework? selenium? cucumber?

full rock Nov 29, 2023, 3:48 PM

#

selenium

ashen topaz Nov 29, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

full rock selenium

and its a junior position?

#

then it requires about 3 years of java experience and about half a year of extra selenium on top

#

so to answer ur original question whether ur a fit as a non-coder and could learn that in just a few months: no, u cant

#

but for real. ur still only answering the absolute minimum, not giving any details of what people ask u to provide

#

that leads to people ignoring ur questions in the future and not helping u

#

u should consider being more cooperative

full rock Nov 29, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

my bad

#

in the email theres a course in udemy.com selenium course. and theres theres a vidoe MYSQL for beginneers and then this (RestAssured Tutorial - Validate POST API Request with Rest Assured)

#

@ashen topaz

#

ask me if you want to know anything else

ashen topaz Nov 29, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

u could just share the email with us (after censoring private data)

#

that would be helpful

#

in any case, my claim still holds. u need around 3 years of experience

#

its a programmer position

harsh owl Nov 29, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

imo 2 years could be enough too, but 3 better

full rock Nov 29, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

alright got it
