Manual vs Automated Testing: Which Tools Do You Prefer?

I prefer automated testing tools like Selenium for efficiency and repeatability, but manual testing is essential for exploratory testing and handling complex scenarios that require human intuition.

When it comes to manual vs automated testing, I prefer automated testing for repetitive tasks and large projects. It speeds up the process and reduces human error. However, manual testing is great for exploratory and UI testing, where human intuition is needed. For those looking to master both, I highly recommend the Software Testing course at Uncodemy. They cover both manual and automated testing tools in-depth, with hands-on experience, making it a great choice for anyone looking to dive into the field of software testing.

Both manual and automated testing have their advantages depending on the project requirements. Manual testing is great for exploratory testing and when you need human intuition to catch edge cases. However, automated testing shines when you need speed, repeatability, and consistency over time. For teams looking to scale up and reduce the time spent on repetitive tasks, I highly recommend considering automation tools. You can learn more about the differences and how to choose the best approach in this comprehensive guide on automation testing vs manual testing.

Both manual and automated testing have their strengths. I prefer automated testing for repetitive tasks and ensuring consistency, but manual testing is great for catching unexpected issues that require human intuition. A balanced approach usually works best.

I think both manual and automated testing have their value and it really depends on the situation. Manual testing is great when you want to understand how a person uses an app or when you are checking new features that might still be changing. It is simple and gives you a clear picture of how things feel. Automated testing is better when you have to run the same checks many times like making sure old features still work after new changes. It saves a lot of time and effort for bigger projects. For me it is not about choosing one or the other but about knowing when to use each one.
