About Manual QA
QA includes activities that ensure the implementation of processes, procedures, and standards in context to verification of developed software and intended requirements. It includes activities that ensure the identification of bugs/errors/defects in software.

Manual Testing is a type of software testing in which test cases are executed manually by a tester without using any automated tools. The purpose of Manual Testing is to identify the bugs, issues, and defects in the software application. Manual software testing is the most primitive technique of all testing types and it helps to find critical bugs in the software application.

Why is Manual QA important?

Manual QA provides the following benefits
•    Typically more cost-effective than using automation testing in small batches
•    Provides manual testing of User Interfaces (UIs)/User Experience (UX) (which cannot be accomplished with automation testing)
•    Better in the infancy stages of your project when changes are constant, versus having to update an automation script each time a feature is added, removed or reassigned
•    Offers much more flexibility than automation testing; you are able to quickly test results against one another versus having to test the entire process
•    Manual testers are easier to locate than automation testers and are easier to train
