I think we can combine them with automated tests.

They serve as good documentation and reduce the burden of testing manually.

I think there still has to have some form of documentation. Definitely having automated tests helps a lot in reducing the manual testing away.

I had an ex-colleague who swears to use manual testing and he gave me the reason. That he will forget it or unable to fix it if it runs into an error. Which I just shrugged it aside as him being stuck to his ways of thinking that can be a very slippy slope.

Yea. Once he tries it, pretty sure he can't go back to testing everything manually.
