Firstly, I'd like to thank for the ...Hi Mike! <br /><br />Firstly, I'd like to thank for the nice entry! <br /><br />Secondly, I'd like to comment on this <br />"Here are some areas in which computer excel over humans, especially in a “testing” capacity (I will explain the use of quote marks later),<br />they are much faster<br />they can do the same task over and over again with no variance<br />always do exactly what they're told"<br />because I don't quite agree with this. <br /><br />1) Computers can be faster, but it depends a lot also on the task at hand. But I agree, speed is often a reason to run automated scripts. <br /><br />2) Computers can never do the same task again exactly in the same way. They can repeat the same steps programmed into the code, but that will not take away variance from the task. <br /><br />3) They don't also always do exactly what they are told. There are memory leaks, power problems, other applications affecting, network lags... and mostly, people have big difficulties in telling computers what to do.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing "Wellington point of view" in the eyes of the world!<br /><br /><br />Best regards,<br />JariJari Laaksohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550632737986566209noreply@blogger.com
