Manual Browsing vs Automated Testing
Developers should learn manual browsing to complement automated testing, especially during early development stages, exploratory testing, or when dealing with complex user interfaces that require human judgment meets developers should learn and use automated testing to improve software reliability, reduce manual testing effort, and enable faster release cycles, particularly in agile or devops environments. Here's our take.

Automated Testing
Developers should learn and use automated testing to improve software reliability, reduce manual testing effort, and enable faster release cycles, particularly in agile or DevOps environments
Pros
- +It is essential for regression testing, where existing functionality must be verified after code changes, and for complex systems where manual testing is time-consuming or error-prone
- +Related to: unit-testing, integration-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Manual Browsing if: You want it is essential for usability testing, accessibility compliance checks (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Automated Testing if: You prioritize it is essential for regression testing, where existing functionality must be verified after code changes, and for complex systems where manual testing is time-consuming or error-prone over what Manual Browsing offers.
