Test automation remains irreplaceable when performing performance load and overload tests. However there are aspects that are difficult to automate. Some of the nonfunctional tests i.e. those related to aesthetics clarity of the user interface or readability are based on personal feelings. We are unable to determine the starting conditions and expected result for them. The question of appearance or transparency can therefore only be assessed by the human eye. Similarly accessibility testing which involves assessing software for adaptation to people with disabilities cannot be automated. To sum up since there are tests that we cannot implement with test automation we cannot replace manual tests with automated tests as another common myth says. There will be areas that require manual checking as I describe below.

Thanks to test automation you can eliminate manual testing This statement is similar to the once common belief that television will completely replace radio. Today we see that media such as radio television and the Internet Email Marketing List coexist and complement each other. The same applies to automatic and manual tests. A huge advantage of automation is its repeatability assuming correct implementation of tests we can be sure that automated tests will always be performed in the same reproducible way. Additionally unlike humans they are able to work constantly without a break for coffee sleep or weekend rest.
However they lack a certain element that allows for effective testing of the application intelligence intuition and imagination. We are able to manually perform a significant part of the tests that will assess the extent to which the application meets both functional and nonfunctional requirements. Manual tests will therefore be needed because there will always be areas that require the knowledge and direct involvement of a software tester.
