I don't think the section labelled "Stages" is appropriate. It is really a discussion of Software Testing, not Manual Testing. For example Unit Testing is certainly not manual testing. Four "steps" of manual testing are given in the prior section, and this seems to contradict the "stages" discussion. Morrillonline ( talk) 01:05, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Testing is a gerund. A gerund should not be used if a relevant noun based on the same verb already exists. See e.g. http://www.tolearnenglish.com/forum/lire.php?num=6&msg=75876&titre=Gerund+%2Fderivation+noun. It seems to be preferable to change most of "Testing" into "Test" in the article, including the title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.56.68.214 ( talk) 08:49, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
I do not think that this conception of testing is helpful. An analogy is describing programming or music making as 'manual' or 'automated'. Every profession uses tools. Software testers use tools, one of which can involve programming automated checks. Testers also use and write other tools to help them log data, generate test, etc. Creating tooling is a subset of testing. Ephemeralwaves ( talk) 11:16, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
