What is Contract Manual Testing?

Contract Manual Testing is the process of manually executing test cases without using automation tools. This approach is particularly useful for complex test scenarios where human insight, intuition, and exploratory skills are required to identify issues. Manual testing also ensures that the end-user experience is taken into account, as testers interact with the software exactly as your customers will.

At PathFinder, our manual testers focus on identifying hidden issues, usability flaws, and functional bugs that could negatively impact your software’s performance or user satisfaction.

• Usability & Accessibility: Manual testers focus on the user experience, ensuring that your software is easy to use, accessible, and intuitive for real-world users.

• Immediate Feedback: Manual testers can provide immediate, qualitative feedback, helping you make user-centric improvements faster.

Our Contract Manual Testing Process

At PathFinder, we follow a structured and thorough testing process to ensure that every aspect of your software is evaluated for quality, functionality, and user satisfaction.

1. Requirement Gathering & Analysis

We begin by thoroughly understanding your project requirements, target users, and business objectives. This allows us to create test cases that are directly aligned with your goals and focus on the most critical areas of your application.

2. Test Planning

Our team develops a comprehensive test plan, which outlines the scope of testing, the specific test scenarios, and the strategies we will use. We define clear objectives to ensure that our manual testing process covers all the necessary functionality and performance aspects.

3. Test Case Design

Based on your project’s requirements, we design detailed, step-by-step test cases. These test cases cover various use scenarios, ensuring that we leave no stone unturned in testing your software’s functionality, performance, and usability.

4. Test Execution

Our experienced manual testers execute the test cases across different environments and platforms, ensuring that every feature is checked for accuracy, reliability, and user-friendliness. We report all bugs, issues, and improvement areas with clear, actionable feedback.

5. Defect Reporting & Management

During the testing process, we log all defects with detailed reports, categorising them based on severity and priority. Our team works closely with your developers to ensure that these defects are addressed and resolved promptly.

6. Retesting & Regression Testing

Once the bugs are fixed, we retest the affected areas to ensure that the fixes are successful and that no new issues have been introduced. We also perform regression testing to make sure that any changes or updates don’t affect the overall functionality of your application.
