Test Automation Should Not Be Used to Replace Humans` Testing automation is not intended to replace humans in the testing process. Humans and technology have different skill sets, with humans exceling at making quick decisions on software performance and emotional aspects. Test automation focuses on numerical challenges and logic-based assessments, whereas humans bring a human element to writing code and understanding complex situations. While test automation can be effective for certain types of challenges, there will always be a need for human involvement in testing, particularly when it comes to nuance and emotional intelligence.
