Manual software testing services providers offer various testing services, including functional, integration, and system testing. Here is the write-up of the future situation of this industry.

1. Future of
Manual Software Testing

2. Introduction to Software Testing
 Manual Software Testing is one type of software
testing in which a tester manually execute the test
cases.
 The tester does not use any automated testing tools.
He manually do the testing work.
 Software may consist of several bugs or errors, so
the software tester identifies those bugs or errors in
software.
 You must test Software before it goes live. It is to
avoid abnormal behavior of the software.
 Manual testing requires more effort than automatic
testing, but still, it should be performed.

3. Manual Software Testing Process
Analyze Requirements
After knowing the
purpose of the software
and how it should be
performed, start your
work
Create Test Plan
Build a testing process
and inform all testers,
and developers that
this is how the work is
to be done.
Create a Test Case
Write test cases and
share them with the
team for further
discussion.
Defect Logging
If some bug or error is
found during testing,
then record it. You
should mark that item
as a fail.
Defect Fixing
Fix the founded bugs or
errors and retest the
system for re-
verification. It is your
responsibility.
Execute Test Case
Execute the test cases
you wrote earlier. Your
focus should be on
achieving the stated
objectives.

5. Is the Future of Manual Software Testing in Jeopardy?
 History has it then whenever a machine replaces humans,
thousands of other opportunities crop up for the man.
However, this requires the man to be quick at learning new
things.
 For example, think of the time when computers started paving
the way in offices and replacing traditional processes. But,
agile professionals who learned the Software and manual
software testing overcame the threat of losing a job.
 In recent times, the mobile application and Software industry
has been experiencing some breakthrough technological
inventions. It does not imply that developers are not required,
but that manual work is limited.
 A person testing one product manually might now be required
to use automated means to check a couple of Software.

6. The Case
 On paper and in the news, it seems that
manual testing might not have a bright future.
More and more companies are relying on
Software that is way more efficient than
humans and can work ten to a hundred times
faster than us. But, the reality is different.
 Companies providing Software testing services
always looks for the talented software testers.
 If you open any job portal, there are many job
openings for manual testers in such companies
that offers Software testing services.

7. Present vs. Future
 As long as the end-users are humans, it is
impossible for manual testing to perish. The
reason is the simple human touch.
 We do not need to be programmed to find a
certain type of error. We know what is wrong.
 For example, the eLearning industry employs
Lacs of people who create courseware that is
tested. The end users are students (humans),
so a machine testing that product might miss
important issues that a man can easily catch.
 Entirely Automating testing is not what I
foresee, but limiting human involvement to
aspects that Software cannot take care of is a
possibility.

8. The Verdict
 Companies that make use of Software testing
services are well-aware of the shift that they
might be required to make in case of
business requirements.
 For now, manual testers should not worry
about job loss but focus on re-skilling
themselves.
 Companies are required to provide cross-
training opportunities to employees so that
they can learn what’s trending and benefit
the company with minimum investment. It is
a result of saving money and effort in hiring
individuals from outside.
 It serves the dual purpose of retaining
employees, saving oneself from bad publicity
from firing employees, and benefitting from
their services with minimum investment.
