Manual Browsing vs Test Automation
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 test automation to accelerate testing cycles, ensure consistent quality in continuous integration/continuous deployment (ci/cd) pipelines, and reduce human error in repetitive tasks. Here's our take.

Test Automation
Developers should learn test automation to accelerate testing cycles, ensure consistent quality in continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and reduce human error in repetitive tasks
Pros
- +It is essential for large-scale projects, agile development environments, and applications requiring frequent updates, as it enables faster feedback, early bug detection, and reliable validation of complex scenarios
- +Related to: selenium, junit
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 Test Automation if: You prioritize it is essential for large-scale projects, agile development environments, and applications requiring frequent updates, as it enables faster feedback, early bug detection, and reliable validation of complex scenarios over what Manual Browsing offers.
