# Manual tests overview

> Run human-driven security assessments alongside automated scanning, using checklists to structure the work and feeding findings into the central vulnerability repository.

The **Manual Tests** module lets security teams and penetration testers run human-driven assessments alongside automated scanning. It gives you a structured way to execute manual test cases, track which security checks are complete, and record what you find into Kikimora's central repository.

## Key concepts

* **Manual test** — a scoped assessment project representing one audit or penetration test engagement, such as a cloud infrastructure assessment or a web application pentest.
* **Checklist** — a standardized or customized suite of security checks attached to a manual test to guide the testing procedure.
* **Check** — an individual test case inside a checklist, which a tester evaluates and marks `Pass`, `Failed`, or `N/A`.
* **Manual vulnerability** — a flaw uncovered during manual testing. These flow into the central Vulnerabilities module, so manual findings are tracked, remediated, and reported alongside scanned ones.
