Its been a long two months. I have a lot of things I want to talk about but the highest topic is a comparrison I had today
My husband had a stroke in July. So it's been a really eye opener about the medical world. One of the things I have noticed is the dependancy to utilize high technology to do diagnosis.
This led to a conversation I had with someone about how it is mimicing the QA world, of the dependancy for Companies looking for QA engineers - To Automate and not test.
I do believe in being effective and time concious, but I also know that it was a AUTOMATED CAT Scan -that missed my husband's issue because it hadn't been programmed for the type of issue he had.
Point being - Remove the human factor from diagnosis, (in QA especially) you will miss the things you just can't teach a computer to do.
Automation is supposed to be an enhancement, an additional TOOL in the toolbox, not the only or highest tool in the tool box.
