# Manual Testing

> Plan, execute, and track manual testing in TestDino using releases, manual runs, and exploratory sessions.

  **What you'll learn**

  * What `Releases`, `Manual Runs`, and `Sessions` each do
  * How they connect
</Callout>

Manual Testing is the workspace for hands-on QA in TestDino. A [release](/test-management/manual-testing/releases) sets the scope and timeline for a sprint or version. [Manual runs](/test-management/manual-testing/manual-runs) sit inside a release and track scripted test execution case by case. [Sessions](/test-management/manual-testing/sessions) capture exploratory findings, attachments, and linked issues, with an optional release link.

## Get Started

* **Plan with [Releases](/test-management/manual-testing/releases)**. Organize manual testing work by sprint, version, or cycle with nested release hierarchy and consolidated results.
* **Run [Manual Tests](/test-management/manual-testing/manual-runs)**. Execute selected test cases within a release, record results, link issues, and close runs when completed.
* **Capture Exploratory [Sessions](/test-management/manual-testing/sessions)**. Log exploratory findings with attachments and linked issues, with optional release association.
