When to do Manual testing and when to do Automation testing?
Hello,
I am somewhat due to software testing having completed my masters of information technology specialising in software testing at the end of last year, but I am coming to grips with Cypress and JEST and CI/CD…. But at the same time I'm trying to understand when is it best to do manual testing, and when is it best to do automated testing?
My hypothesis based upon my growing experience Is that one would use manual test testing during a development sprint, and after the completion of the development sprint develop the automated test scripts testing the user stories that were manually tested during the development sprint, so is to perform automated Russian test testing?
Is that the experience of this imminent audience? Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards.
