Manual Testing
Description
Manual Testing is a fundamental process in software quality assurance where testers manually execute test cases without using automation tools. It focuses on identifying bugs, usability issues, and verifying that the application behaves as expected. Manual testing ensures the reliability and functionality of software by simulating real user scenarios.
