Overview
What Manual Testing refers to
Manual Testing is listed in ResumeITKeys as software testing tool or quality practice. Its exact scope can vary by organization and role, so read it alongside the employer’s stated responsibilities.
A posting may mention Manual Testing in connection with test design, execution, automation, defect investigation, or quality processes. Check nearby verbs, deliverables, and ownership expectations; the term alone does not establish the expected depth or mean every employer requires it.

Show practical use in an experience or project entry: state the task, your contribution, and evidence.
