| Jun 14, 2017 at 13:05 | comment | added | Nathan | I don't think the world is changing at the pace the OP thinks. There will be always be people behind the curve. Having good tests is hard, and people don't like doing difficult things if they can get away with it. I know from 1st hand experience that the software industry is enough of a friendly environment, that companies can get away with a quite large amount of lack of discipline, waste and poor practices before it actually sinks them. ... So cheer up :D | |

After you have been with a company long enough, study to become a manager. You don't have to know how to do automation, just how to lead those who do know how to do automation. | |
| Jun 13, 2017 at 10:57 | comment | added | Ian Newson | My company only employs manual testers currently. While we do use automated testing to varying degrees, our testers aren't involved in this process at the moment, although we're keen for them to be. The skills employed by a manual tester are absolutely essential, even if going down the route of automated testing. Automated testing is not absolutely necessary. | |

| Jun 12, 2017 at 12:51 | comment | added | Cronax | You seem to make this very black-and-white, while the answer is probably a shade of grey. You don't have to become a developer in order to do test automation and when you do test automation it doesn't have to be the only thing that you do. A former colleague of mine was a manual tester with no software background at all (he was a former car mechanic) but he was able to learn a bit of coding so that he could make his life easier. The idea is to automate repetitive tasks so you can focus on finding the important bugs. | |
