The Quality Assurance is the practice of checking hardware, software, or systems for defects, identifying such defects, and then checking to make sure that such defects are corrected when future revisions of software or hardware are ready for testing. Software Quality Assurance involves the entire software development process – monitoring and improving the process, making sure that any agreed-upon standards and procedures are followed, and ensuring that problems are found and dealt with. It is oriented to ‘prevention’. Quality Assurance workers typically work closely with the people who develop hardware and software, and often program exhaustive scripts to automate checking and identify problems.
Manual testing is always a part of any testing effort. During the initial phases of software development, manual testing is performed until the software and its user interface are stable enough that beginning automation makes sense. Often, aggressive development cycles and release dates do not allow for the time required to design and implement automated tests. Also, for one-time development efforts or products with short lifetimes, manual testing often is the only sensible option from time and budget standpoints.
