How does a TCoE balance automation and manual testing to maximize efficiency?

Sep 30, 2025

A TCoE should automate the repeatable, detail-heavy regression checks to remove human error and speed releases, while keeping room for manual testing where judgment matters or ROI is low. Automate execution to free the team to focus on new functionality and high-value scripts, and leave fringe or one-off cases manual so effort pays off.
