Advantages And Disadvantages Of Manual And Automated Fuzzing Testing

Advantages

Automated Testing and Manual Testing


• If you have to run a set of tests repeatedly automation is a huge gain

• If Test Cases have to be run a small number of times it's more likely to perform manual testing
• Helps performing "compatibility testing" - testing the software on different configurations • It allows the tester to perform more ad-hoc (random testing)
• It gives you the ability to run automation scenariosto perform regressions in a shorter time • Short term costs are reduced
• It gives you the ability to run regressions on a code that is continously changing • The more time tester spends testing a module the grater the odds to find real user bugs
• Can be run simultaneously on different machines thus decreasing testing time
• Long term costs are reduced

Disadvantages


Automated Testing and Manual Testing


• It's more expensive to automate. Initial investments are bigger than manual testing • Manual tests can be very time consuming
• You cannot automate everything, some tests still have to be done manually • For every release you must rerun the same set of tests which can be tiresome
OTHER FACTORS
• The performance of yout test tools
• The knowledge level of your testing team
• The continous growth of software to be tested
• Number of necessary regressions
