What is End-to-end testing or E2E Testing:
End-to-end testing is a Software testing methodology to test an application flow from start to end. The purpose of End to end testing is to simulate the real user scenario and validate the system under test and its components for integration and data integrity.
Nobody wants to be known for their mistakes and their negligence, and same is the case with the Testers. When the Testers are assigned an application to test, from that moment, they take the responsibility and the application also acts as a platform to show their practical and technical testing knowledge.

Today in this era of Automation Testing, almost in every QA testing departments’ automation is the first preference. But there are few QA departments where 70-80% of testing is carried out manually. Indeed, there are cases where quality is completely determined manually as no automation is carried out there.
One of the crucial reasons for companies to continue with the manual test is the inability of automation tools to cope with the changes that some application faces on regular basis. In certain cases, the only option left with QA is of manual testing.
