    Our QA team often argues about what to automate in blockchain testing. Unit tests are stable, but once we touch integration or cross-chain flows, we get random RPC errors and gas issues. Some teammates say manual testing is outdated, while others claim automation is too fragile.

    I want to create a balance — keep the workflow efficient but still catch tricky state bugs. For those with experience, how do you decide what deserves automation versus what needs human judgment?

    Automation often breaks when the infrastructure changes, new RPC endpoints, forked networks, or different gas price strategies. After each deployment, I manually re-run a short regression suite to verify sanity before CI picks up again.

    This hybrid model prevents bigger disasters later. It’s slower at first, but saves hours of debugging unstable scripts. I also schedule weekly reviews to decide which manual tests can graduate to automation once stable.
