Podcast Episode 48 – Semantics – Manual Testing

Welcome to the Testing Peers this episode we discuss the term manual testing.

Does the term simplify our craft? Is manual testing writing step by step test cases, is it using your hands, is it a low skilled job? How do we talk about testing and how does that impact perceptions? Is code just another tool to get testing done?

We discuss our thoughts over a wide range angles looking at manual testing, but what are your thoughts? What does the term manual testing mean to you? Why not get in touch and let us know what the term conjures up to you!


Thank you for listening. Please do get in touch if you would like to know more or would like to give us feedback to help us improve and grow.
