4 steps to effectively combine test automation and manual testing

In today’s fragmented digital landscape, it is increasingly difficult to keep up with the high number of devices and platforms coming to market. Consumers expect the very best from the apps, websites and devices they use on a daily basis.

In order to tackle these challenges, QA teams must optimize test coverage and truly understand their users’ perspectives and journeys, all while speeding up their processes and gaining efficiency. Combining test automation with manual testing efforts is one of the most promising ways to reach this goal.
