The product is tested as according to the various test cases as well as a whole entity working together. Thus the process requires both integration testing as well as module wise testing of the individual test cases.

Leaving out the applicability of manual testing to large scale product manufacturing units as well as lavish facilities, there are a wide variety of shortcomings the process of manual testing is consisted of. The procedure of manual testing is a very lengthy and consuming procedure requiring each module of the product to be tested.

Owing to the fact that manual testing is challenged with the above mentioned shortcomings, a much more appropriate approach would be that of automated testing. Automated testing basically refers to the process of using software to carry out the testing procedure of any manufactured product. It processes the testing of each and every module of the product.

The general testing procedure is displayed to the test operator with the aid of a graphical user interface through which, the test operator can suitably carry out the testing of each and every module of the product.
