As always, the question is wrong, as there is no automation testing. Every testing whether using the latest digital equipment's still require's human intervention, thus it will still be called "manual testing". Digital equipments still needs to be set, installed and programmed before it can perform its intended task. Unlike, analog equipments, results can be read and interpreted much more easier.

The question should have been, analog vs. digital testing.

Automation gives mass production and similarity.

Manual gives more accuracy and add value of acknowledgement of the specialty.
