  • > In Manual Testing, a person having role as a Tester will be sitting before the computer to check whether the application functionality is working as expected.
  • > In Automation Testing, we will be using Automation Tools to perform the Testing
  • > Hence in Manual Testing, a person will be performing the testing instead of tools and where as in Automation Testing, a tool will be performing testing with an intention of saving testing time of a tester

How can an Automation Tool perform Testing?

  • > Step#1: Testers/Automation engineers will create the automation code using any Selenium supported language say Java and put the developed code into the Automation tool like Selenium
  • > Step#2: Automation Tool like Selenium will execute the automation code developed by Testers/Automation Engineers to test the applications functionality.
