Manual Testing

Disadvantages of manual testing compared to automated testing



Lack of time to execute regression tests may potentially compromise Performance & Reliability



Overcompensating scope of testing may result in more testing than may be really required and

project delays

Test coverage

within tight

timelines



Insufficient test coverage leads to a higher amount of defects not found before cut-over of

changes from test to production landscape



Testing accuracy due to not being able to test all variants

Defects in

Production Systems



High costs for manual testers involved in recurring regression tests



High costs to fix errors in production landscape



Finding errors late in the development process could delay delivery

Costs



Complexity increasing with added business processes and modules implemented



Manual testing cannot keep pace with expansion of applications
