    Manual testing is not dead, but its definition is misunderstood. Manual testing involves thinking critically and asking questions to investigate a system or acquire information. It is a complex process that requires preparation and skills. While automation has its place, tools should only be used where they add value; manual testing remains important for exploring questions that different methods are needed to answer. We must improve how we discuss testing to avoid oversimplifying its complexity and help others understand the value testing provides.
