Manual and exploratory testing
Manual testing at TestLine means checking your web or mobile app through a user's eyes before it reaches production. I combine requirement-based scenarios with exploratory testing that catches what nobody wrote down.

What you get
- A test plan and a list of scenarios matched to the release scope
- Test cases in your tool (Jira, TestRail, Xray or a spreadsheet)
- Defect reports with steps, environment, expected and actual result
- A test report: what was checked, what wasn't and which risks remain
When it's worth it
Before the first release
The product is functionally ready, but nobody outside the team has used it. Exploratory testing shows where users will get lost.
When you have no tester
Developers test their own code and have no time for edge cases. I join as an independent pair of eyes.
During a big change
A new module, a UI rebuild or a data migration. I'll check the new features and what might have broken along the way.
Before automation
Before writing automated tests, it's worth knowing which scenarios are stable and critical. Manual testing answers that.

Scope

- step 2
Scenarios
I prepare the plan and test cases based on the requirements.
- step 3
Testing
I test and report defects as I go, in your tool.
- step 4
Report
A summary of results and a recommendation before release.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need ready requirements documentation?
No. User stories, mock-ups or a conversation with the product owner are enough. I'll write missing assumptions into the test plan for your approval.
Which devices do you test mobile apps on?
Emulators and the physical devices I have. If a specific model matters to you, let me know when we agree on the scope.
How quickly will I get reported defects?
Continuously, during testing. I report critical issues immediately instead of waiting for the final report.
Got a release in a few weeks?
Describe your project in the form. I'll reply with questions about scope or an initial test plan.
