Manual Testing

At Akross IT, our Manual Testing services are tailored for next-gen applications—including AI-powered platforms, mobile apps, cloud-native systems, and multi-modal interfaces. We combine human intuition with structured testing methodologies to uncover subtle bugs, verify intelligent system responses, and ensure that your software behaves correctly in the hands of real users.​

Our Manual Testing Service Features

Exploratory Testing for AI & Adaptive Systems
We assess how AI models respond to diverse, unpredictable inputs—validating behavior, fairness, and consistency beyond what automation scripts can cover.

Usability and UX Validation
Our testers analyze visual layouts, user journeys, and responsiveness to ensure modern apps deliver intuitive, accessible, and visually consistent experiences.

Test Case Design and Execution
We create detailed, scenario-based test cases tailored to your business logic and user roles, covering both functional and edge conditions.

Cross-Browser and Cross-Device Testing
Manual testers validate UI consistency and performance across different browsers, screen sizes, and operating systems—especially for mobile and web apps.

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Testing for AI
Validate AI system outputs (like chat responses, predictions, or content generation) for correctness, relevance, and user impact, providing structured feedback loops for retraining models.

API Response Validation
Manually verify API responses, error messages, and status codes under varied data and access conditions—especially for volatile or rapidly changing endpoints.

Accessibility and Compliance Testing
We ensure applications meet accessibility standards (WCAG, ADA) and industry-specific compliance requirements through hands-on, real-world validation.​

Our Manual Testing Process​​


Requirement Analysis and Test Planning

We initiate the testing journey by conducting in-depth discussions with your stakeholders to understand the full scope of the application.


This includes mapping out functionality, expected user behaviors, business goals, and system dependencies. For AI-driven apps, we also align on model behavior expectations—such as how a chatbot should respond or how a recommendation engine should behave in different contexts.


The result is a detailed test strategy covering what to test, when to test it, how often, and with what resources. We identify high-risk areas and create a roadmap to ensure no functionality is overlooked.

Test Case Design and Scenario Mapping


Once planning is complete, our QA experts begin crafting test cases tailored to your application’s architecture and real-world usage scenarios.


For traditional applications, this includes validating workflows, input fields, navigation, and form logic. For AI applications, we go deeper—designing test cases that examine variability in user input, contextual accuracy, and adaptive behavior of models. We focus on creating both positive and negative scenarios to simulate how different user types might interact with your product.


This ensures comprehensive test coverage across both deterministic and probabilistic system components.

Environment Setup and Tool Alignment


Before executing any tests, we replicate your production environment as closely as possible to ensure accuracy.

This involves configuring operating systems, device types, browsers, network conditions, and backend integrations. We also align with your preferred test management and bug tracking tools—like Jira, TestRail, or Zephyr—so the QA process integrates smoothly into your existing workflows.

For AI and data-driven systems, we manage mock datasets or connect to sanitized production-like data for realistic evaluations. All environments are version-controlled and monitored for consistency across testing cycles.

Manual Test Execution and Observation


Our testers begin executing each test case with precision, following step-by-step validations while observing system behavior.


They log expected vs. actual outcomes, performance metrics, and UI behaviors. When testing AI-powered applications, they assess output relevance, tone, accuracy, and edge-case variability—for example, evaluating whether an NLP engine misinterprets a query or a computer vision system returns inconsistent classifications.


Screenshots, session recordings, and console logs are collected to support all findings. This observational layer allows testers to capture subtle usability concerns or bugs that automation might miss.

Defect Reporting and Revalidation


All issues uncovered during testing are documented thoroughly with reproduction steps, screen references, environment details, and severity levels.


We collaborate closely with developers and product owners to ensure fast and accurate triaging of bugs. Once fixes are implemented, our team retests affected areas and conducts regression testing to confirm that new changes haven't broken existing functionalities.


For AI systems, we revisit previously inaccurate outputs and check for model improvements post-retraining. Our process ensures transparency, accountability, and quick resolution turnaround.

Exploratory and Usability Testing


Going beyond scripted testing, we conduct exploratory testing sessions where testers simulate real user behavior—navigating unpredictably, using edge-case inputs, or accessing hidden flows. This is particularly effective for identifying issues in dynamic, evolving applications or early-stage products.

We also assess usability from the perspective of end-users, providing feedback on navigation clarity, button placements, content readability, responsiveness, and accessibility.


This layer is critical for AI and adaptive systems, where user trust, transparency, and comfort play a huge role in adoption.

Final QA Sign-Off and Continuous Feedback Loop


After thorough testing, our team consolidates findings into a comprehensive QA report that includes test coverage statistics, defect density, risk assessments, and recommendations.


We provide insights into patterns—such as frequent points of failure or user journey pain points—that can inform both engineering and product strategy. For AI-driven applications, we offer qualitative feedback on model behavior, which can feed back into retraining cycles or fine-tuning parameters.


Our QA sign-off marks the transition from development to deployment readiness, backed by real-world validation and continuous learning mechanisms.

Types of Manual Testing We Provide​​

Functional Testing

Verify that each feature of your application behaves as expected against business requirements—both positive and negative test scenarios included.

Regression and Smoke Testing

Ensure new code changes don’t introduce bugs in existing functionalities through quick, targeted validation after each deployment.

AI Model Output Testing

For NLP, vision, or recommendation systems, testers manually evaluate the accuracy, tone, and relevance of AI outputs in different contexts.

UI/UX Testing for Web and Mobile

Assess layout alignment, responsiveness, color schemes, font rendering, and interactive components for visual and experiential consistency.

Localization and Globalization Testing

Verify that text, dates, currencies, and layouts adapt correctly across languages, regions, and cultures.

Ad-Hoc and Exploratory Testing

Discover hidden issues by simulating real user behavior, input variations, and unusual use patterns—particularly effective in new or complex applications.
