What is Automated and Manual Testing?

Manual testing is finding bugs and defects manually. A QA ensures that applications run correctly, as per the written conditions in test cases. Manual testing is still important, as we cannot test some functionality automatically. E.g. mobile devices and wearables require field testing in a physical environment. Mobile apps often require ‘monkey tests’ that detect bottlenecks during stressful conditions. E.g. What happens if a user forgets the mobile device in their pocket with the application running and taps on the screen unintentionally? Possibilities are they might crash the app! In these scenarios, only manual testing works.
