Because not all bugs live where you expect themโand not all tests should be scripted.
Manual testing isnโt just clicking around a UIโitโs a strategic, creative, and often instinctive process. Hereโs a scroll-worthy breakdown of the lesser-known secrets that ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ญ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐ฌ:

Running the same test repeatedly wonโt catch new bugs. Mix it up, or defects start hiding in plain sight.

Test workflows sidewaysโout-of-sequence, edge flows, non-standard inputs. Thatโs where bugs like to live.

80% of bugs are found in 20% of the modules. Know where your code is fragileโand test it harder.
