Struggling to balance automated and manual testing demands?

Striking the right balance between automated and manual testing can enhance your software's reliability without slowing down the development process. To navigate this challenge:
- Identify tests that benefit most from automation, such as repetitive tasks or those requiring high precision.
- Reserve manual testing for exploratory scenarios where human intuition is crucial.
- Continuously evaluate and adjust your strategy to reflect changes in technology and project scope.
How do you maintain the balance between automated and manual testing in your projects?

Actually it depends upon the context of the project. Different projects require different testing strategies. For instance, in high-stakes industries like healthcare or finance, focus on manual testing might be higher due to regulatory compliance and the need for thorough exploratory testing. It also depends upon the kind of team in project. A team with a strong automation background might lean more toward automated testing, while a team skilled in manual testing may provide better insights through exploratory tests. Sometimes I go with risk based strategies where high-risk areas of the application receive more manual testing and critical scenarios are automated. This helps to allocate resources efficiently and ensure risks are addressed.
