We understand that automation testing is an important procedure to check for errors and glitches in software. However, it is essential to ponder that there are certain aspects that can only be detectable and understood by the human mind. Despite the advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, test automation can&#8217;t match human intuition and the ability to interpret complex scenarios. Hence, it is crucial to have a proper balance between automation and human testing to achieve the best possible outcome for any software project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a software tester, you must be aware of the buggy app that results in bad reviews, waste of dollars, and\u00a0 increased uninstalling rates.
