oftware Testing is an important phase of the Software Development Life Cycle, Software Testing can be done in two ways, one is Manual Testing and another is Automated Testing or Test Automation.

Manual Testing is the process in which requirements are analyzed and understood, Test scenarios are derived, Test cases are documented, Test cases are executed, and the defects are identified, isolated, subjected for justification, and ensure that the product is defect-free, in order to produce a quality product.

However, it requires knowledge such as about different phases of the Software development life cycle, different types of Manual Testing, and different phases of the Software test life cycle.
