What is Manual end-to-end testing?

Traditional approach where developers manually test applications through the UI after code changes, especially after rapid agent-driven development cycles.

✅ What Manual end-to-end testing does well

  • Human judgment and contextual understanding
  • Can catch unexpected edge cases

❌ Limitations for Agents

  • Time-consuming and repetitive
  • Error-prone and inconsistent
  • Doesn't scale with rapid development cycles
  • Difficult to maintain comprehensive coverage
