Are we afraid to talk about non-automated test cases in 2024?

I think with automation getting a bigger push some people do feel like “if we speak of manual testing it’s taboo”… However, I think that’s where we need to get better with our language as well. People are great at testing but suck at regression. Computers are great at regression but suck at testing.

I can tell a computer to do the same thing a million times and it will do it that way and only that way. You tell me to do the same thing 5 times. I’m finding a way to make it faster cause I’ll get bored. However, you tell me to dig into something and figure out it. I can be creative and think outside the box. Computers, only do what I tell them to do, so not like they can really go testing for me.

People = Testing
Computer = Regression
