I work somewhere that primarily relies on manual testing rather than automated testing. It definitely does not make the software more reliable here, at the least. :-)
- Jtsummers 6y agoThere're three kinds of manual testing: 1. Manual testing that should be manual (exploratory). 2. Manual tests that are new and haven't been automated yet (but will be). 3. Manual tests that should be automated. (3) is the one many people see and suffer through (I know I have). They need to be automated to free up time for (1), which is where many issues are actually discovered. But if (3) dominates your time, you can never get to (1) and you'll constantly ship broken things (or more broken than they should be).
