Ways and means of application testing have changed over the decades. I have seen how dedicated QA born for quality checks, how need of automation came to existence.
The manual testing was taken over by automation testing to reduce the turnaround of the testing time for repetitive tests thus reducing effort anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 days.
It supported the repeated tests thus reducing the dependency on the need for multiple manual testers. However, over the last few years with the advent of agile development, automation testing has become difficult for managers to manage.
