No, Manual cannot be replaced by Automation. Infact in most cases, Manual testing must be performed FIRST to further proceed with Automation

NO,Automation cannot replace Manual,because we write the script to test the functionality positively.When we talk about real environment we do negative testing manually.

No As 100% Automation Not Possible also not Feasible

Automation testing can not replaces manual testing Completely. Without going for manual can't go for automation Because manual decides how can go for automation

Automation reduces the effort in terms of manual testing and also  Cost and time

No, 100% automation is not possible for testing application. Technically we can perform automation of application during the regression cycle of STLC. During the initial phase if the application is not stable continuous testing of the application is not possible, and again as a human being we want to have user experience of the application to test its usability

no beacuse by using automation we cannot find 100% defects so manual testing relates main role in testing

No Automation testing cannot replace Manual testing.

For Automation -Testers writes the code to validate the functionality & then run the script

For Manual - Tester physically performs the operation to validate the functionality

As per my view, My answer is 'NO' because automation is not possible all the times so automation could not replace by manual testing. i worked for a lottery project where we have lot of diciplines which are inter linked with each other. In our project we can only use automation till some extent. Remaining we need to follow manual procedure. Only GUI part we caa automate. Remaining we have lot of processes like draw processings, day ending, reports and financial details verification , checking the errors and troubleshooting the errors etc. Automation testing will just helps to reduce the testing time and testing efforts till some extents but quality assurence can be assured by the manual tester only.

Note: To check/verify the automation a person needed who is manual tester

Automation test can be performed, if those testing has a pattern and done repeatedly. Usually done for client certification, who join established system.

Automation test cannot replaced 100% manual test. But, it will be more helpful if automation test and manual test combined.
