Ninjas or Pirates? Both.

There's an age old debate on who would win in a fight, ninjas or pirates. But as I once saw in a Nodwick comic, if you create Ninja Pirates, then you've got something absolutely unstoppable.

For some reason, this got me thinking about when I hear people argue about whether it's worth it to exclusively do automated testing, or exclusive manual testing. On their own, both techniques are powerful, but you're going to find the most bugs when you combine the two techniques. So augment your manual tests with automated tools that will let your testers do things faster and more efficiently. The end result will be well worth it.

Plus, you can brag to your friends that you've got a bunch of Ninja Pirates working for you.
