What’s the difference between manual and automation testing in the course?

In the course, the key difference between manual and automation testing lies in how tests are executed. Manual testing requires testers to execute test cases by hand, following predefined steps to check software functionality. It’s ideal for exploratory, usability, and ad-hoc testing. Automation testing, on the other hand, uses tools and scripts to automatically run test cases, making it faster and more reliable for repetitive or regression testing. The course teaches both approaches, highlighting when and how to use each, and equips learners with practical experience using leading automation tools to boost efficiency and accuracy in the software testing process.
