A test manager receives notification by a version control hosted service of one or more files, containing plain text instructions, being stored in a repository to be used for guiding a human tester to perform operations and observe behavior for a system under test. The manual test includes callable automated software, executed by a serverless computing platform, to set the system under test in a predefined state required for the manual test. The test manager is configured to display a user interface having information indicating the manual tests to be executed, including required automated software to be executed, and to provide guiding instruction for the execution of the tests. The test manager communicates with the serverless computing platform, issuing instructions regarding the required automation. The user interface is also configured to receive status information from both the human tester and the serverless computing platform.
