The whole point is that if a task is to be done regularly then automation has a cost benefit. Even our analysts automate with specflow and our project management team automate their workflow with python. Our graphic designers automate their pipelines with various tools (I don’t go there myself). Our management team run automated reporting they built themselves. Our customer support team drive our public API to resolve issues with their own scripts. Our entire front to back end process stack is automated. All our marketing is data and code driven. Everyone is a programmer if they like it or not. We destroyed all of our competitors because of automation. We’re “a loose interpretation of agile” but continuous delivery focused. Everything from code to production is automated. --- End quote --- Automation is ideal for regression testing, but the automation code is never going to see something interesting and deviate from the testing it has been programmed to do in order to track down some other issue. Automation is almost mandatory as a part of software development, but it is not a replacement for professional testers, it augments existing testing and reduces the need to test the same basic functionality over and over on each new build. Far too many companies try to do ALL of their testing with automation and product quality suffers. Most software is garbage these days, the mentality has become ship it now, fix it "later", except that later never comes and a lot of issues don't get fixed or with each fixed issue comes a bunch of new features and new issues. My iPhone is a shining example of this, the old one I had with iOS6 was fantastic and polished, the one I have now with iOS10 is crap in terms of quality. It's buggy and feels half baked, the UI is full of inconsistencies, the reminders fail to pop up frequently or get out of sync with the lock screen, apps crash, even the native ones. It's blatantly obvious that there was insufficient QA and frankly for a company like Apple that is unacceptable. They built their reputation on products that were slick and polished, to an OCD-like level. |

And to automate something, you have to define it. And that takes someone. And you just can’t automate requirements engineering, design, or architecture. |

When all you've touched is the code for A there's no need to test B... >:D |
