Manual testing has evolved significantly in the age of automation. Initially, manual testing involved testers executing tests manually to validate software functionality. However, with the rise of automation tools and frameworks, manual testing has adapted by focusing more on exploratory testing, usability testing, and complex scenarios that are challenging to automate effectively. Testers now leverage their domain knowledge and creativity to uncover nuanced bugs that automated scripts might miss. Moreover, manual testing plays a crucial role in validating user experience, accessibility, and real-world usage scenarios that require human judgment. As automation continues to advance, manual testing remains indispensable for its ability to provide qualitative insights and ensure comprehensive test coverage alongside automated checks.
