Software Dev Can't Be Automated – It’s a Creative Process with an Unknown Goal
For the same reasons, testing cannot be automated. The only people who routinely claim that it can are not those who study and enjoy doing software testing.In fact, anyone who claims that any human activity has been automated faces a testing problem: how do you know?
