Human testers manually interact with the application
Better for exploratory, usability, and ad-hoc testing
Can catch visual inconsistencies and user experience issues
Time-consuming and prone to human error
Suitable for one-time testing scenarios Automated UI Testing:
Uses tools and scripts to execute tests automatically
Faster execution for repetitive tests
More reliable for regression testing
Requires initial investment in script development
Cannot evaluate subjective aspects like visual appeal Best Practice: Use a combination of both - automated tests for repetitive scenarios and manual testing for exploratory and usability aspects.
