Software development is a very labor intensive process. This is where the testing process comes in handy if you want to end up with a good product. Moreover, testing should be carried out in the early stages of development. You can find more useful information about the difficulties with test automation here https://zapple.tech/blog/types-of-automation-testing/challenges-in-automation-testing/
loving these short news episodes...keep up the great work Changelog team
