Definition of Manual Testing as it relates to Software, Software Testing, Acceptance Testing, User Acceptance Testing

Manual Testing, as part of User Acceptance Testing in Software Testing, refers to the process of manually executing test cases to evaluate the software's compliance with specified requirements. It involves a tester going through the software step-by-step, performing various functions and comparing the results with expected outcomes. This type of testing is crucial for identifying any issues or defects that might have been overlooked during automated testing. In the hierarchy of Software/Software Testing/Acceptance Testing/User Acceptance Testing, Manual Testing serves as a final checkpoint before software release to ensure it meets user needs and expectations.
