People says there is a thumb rule in testing : for going to automation before we should do manual completely

Yes sure we should do manual testing before going for Automation

because the main criteria/input of Automation is that the application should STABLE before Automation.

Then with out testing the application manually how we will conform that application is stable..

so before going to Automation we should /must go for manual testing there is no other option........

Hello,

According to me testing starts from requirements phase and proceed upto maintenance phase.In the starting phases like requirements and design,verifcation  will take place and in coding,testing and mainatenance black box and white box testing or validation takes place.What i mean to say here is in starting phases manual testing is mandatory.In the next phases also , a test strategy,methodology,plan and cases respectively are prepared manually.Only some features are automated and some features are tested manually.I am not sure that we need to execute all the test cases manually and after that automate all the test cases.Regression testing,retesting,data driven testing,performance testing can be easily performed by automation ,when compared to manual.Some tests can be executed only in manual,they cannot be automated and some tests can be automated ,they cannot be run manually.Yes,i am also sure that manual testing is done before automation,why because without a test scenario or a test case which is documented manually,automation is impossible.

hi,

1. Availability of all objects should be tested

2. Whether the build is stable or not (sanity testing) should be tested.

3. whether the build is encountering any show stoppers should be tested (Smoke) to verify the build behavior.

All these comes under manual testing only which is mandatory before perform automation testing.
