This totally nails it when it comes to Manual Testing, doesn’t it?
Oh, I agree, there is a place for manual testing — smoke tests to build confidence, complex tests that simply can’t be automated, and so forth.
However, what I do see all too often is Manual Testing being used as the default approach to existence. This, typically in organizations where QA consists of “those folks over there”, and developers consider testing a four-letter word.
My advice — if you’re working at one of those places, and if you have agency, leave. It’s just not worth the candle…
