Testing of software can be done manually as well using automation tools and scripts. Both manual and automation testing have their own share of benefits and limitations. In this tutorial – “Manual Testing vs Automation Testing”, we will study the difference between these two types of testing.

Manual Testing vs Automation Testing
| Manual Testing | Automation Testing |
|---|---|
| Manual testing is a type of testing in which test case execution is performed manually by humans. | Automation testing is a type of testing in which automated test case execution is performed using different automation tools. |
| Load testing can be done using automation testing. Also, it is suited for regression tests and tests which require frequent test case execution. | Automated test case execution is very fast, only the initial test framework and test script creation takes time. |
| It is more suited for user interface, adhoc, and exploratory testing. | It is not suited for user interface, adhoc, and exploratory testing. |
| Manual testing is not suitable for performing load testing and testing which requires frequent test executions. | Load testing can be done using automation testing. Also, it is suited for regression tests and test which require frequent test case execution. |
| The manual test cases are required to be run sequentially. | Automated test scripts can be run in parallel as well using distributed testing across different machines. |
| It is considered less reliable because of human error. | Following right approach and standards for test script creation leads to reliable automated testing. |
