Is it necessary for testers to learn coding and programming?

I’ve really benefited from this - having a highly technical tester and a non-techical tester. The technical tester get’s those deep, specific edge cases that can show up (like overflows, calculation edges, etc). And the non-technical tester acts more like a user and checks more of the “normal and sometimes weird” things that users can get up to.

Both are super helpful IMHO.
