This thesis mainly concerned with the manual test approaches. The most commonly used manual testing approaches in the software industry are the Exploratory Testing (ET) approach and the Test Case Based Testing (TCBT) approach. This research study primarily deals with the strengths and weaknesses of both the TCBT approach and ET.
