There’s an invisible line between the tools a “technical” manual tester uses and the tools an automation engineer relies on. But is this a real divide or an imaginary one?
There’s an invisible line between the tools a “technical” manual tester uses and the tools an automation engineer relies on. But is this a real divide or an imaginary one? In this session, we’ll challenge the traditional boundaries of testing roles—it’s time to step across that line and embrace a more sustainable approach to quality.
Sustainable testing isn’t just about tools; it’s about creating lasting, adaptable practices that empower testers to contribute to automation efforts without discarding the critical thinking and exploratory skills that define their craft. We’ll discuss practical strategies for bridging the gap between manual and automated testing, focusing on techniques that build long-term efficiency, reduce redundancy, and maximize the impact of human expertise.
Through real-world examples, we’ll illustrate how testers can step confidently into the world of automation in a way that enhances—not replaces—their skills. Whether you’re a manual tester ready to expand your toolkit or a manager looking to upskill your team, this talk will provide actionable insights to help you break down barriers and build a resilient, tool-driven approach to quality that stands the test of time.
