Manual testing tools are unique in assessing user journeys and minor details that affect the user experience, according to experts like Magebit CEO Arturs Kruze. Valtech VP of Global Technology Una Verhoeven values manual testing for its inclusivity, addressing unconscious bias and accessibility that automated testing may miss.
