Perform manual tests on Drupal core or contributed modules, themes, or distributions:
- Verify that proposed software fixes (patches or merge requests) actually fix the identified problem in issues, and don't cause new problems
- Test functionality to see if it works the way it's documented to work
- Test the usability or accessibility of the user interface
- Test the security of the software
Impact:
Contributors have written automated tests for Drupal core and some contributed modules, themes, and distributions. However, automated test coverage is often incomplete, and not all functionality is easy to write automated tests for. Manual testing fills in gaps in automated testing, and is also important when you don't know whether your tests have gaps.
