Do you think that automation testing can be a complete replacement for manual software testing? |
|
Answer» No, automation testing cannot be a complete replacement for manual software testing. This is because the tools used are meant to execute tests once they are set up and proper automation requires as little human PARTICIPATION as feasible. As convenient as it is, it should not be used to replace manual testing; rather, it should be used for REPETITIVE activities such as load testing, which requires thousands of virtual users. Engineers should not automate test scripts if they are only intended to run on a periodic basis, nor should they automate code reviews or BUG testing for new software BUILDS that may require human engagement to detect errors. To sum up, we can say that large-scale, repetitive jobs are better suited to automation. |
