1. Requirement Analysis:

• Review software requirements and specifications to understand the functionality and scope of the application.
• Identify ambiguities or missing details in requirements and communicate with stakeholders to clarify.
  

2. Test Case Design and Documentation:

• Create comprehensive test plans, test scenarios, and test cases based on the requirements.
• Ensure test cases cover both positive and negative scenarios and edge cases.
• Document test data needed for various scenarios.
  

3. Test Execution:

• Execute test cases manually to verify that the application behaves as expected.
