Pros of Automation
If you have to run a set of tests repeatedly, automation is a huge win for you.
It gives you the ability to run automation against code that frequently changes to catch regressions in a timely manner.
It gives you the ability to run automation in mainstream scenarios to catch regressions in a timely manner .
Aids in testing a large test matrix (different languages on different OS platforms). Automated tests can be run at the same time on different machines, whereas the manual tests would have to be run sequentially.
Cons of Automation
It costs more to automate. Writing the test cases and writing or configuring the automate framework you’re using costs more initially than running the test manually.
Can’t automate visual references, for example, if you can’t tell the font color via code or the automation tool, it is a manual test.
Pros of Manual
If the test case only runs twice a coding milestone, it most likely should be a manual test. Less cost than automating it.
It allows the tester to perform more ad-hoc (random testing). In my experiences, more bugs are found via ad-hoc than via automation. And, the more time a tester spends playing with the feature, the greater the odds of finding real user bugs.
Cons of Manual
Running tests manually can be very time consuming
Each time there is a new build, the tester must rerun all required tests - which after a while would become very mundane and tiresome.

1 Tarot 1.1 Purpose - Tarot tool will duplicate the tarot-reading process for the user online. - Tarot is a craft that uses a deck of 78 cards to predict a user’s past, present and future. - The cards are picked by the user and arranged in a specific spread, which represents points in his past, present, and future; based on the meanings of the cards selected, interpretations are given. 1.2 Scope Only for registered user. 1.3 User Interface User Interface: 1. Question – This is only for user experience, and has no bearing on the formulae / process. Simple long text box. 2. Selection of field – radio button selection of 1 of 3 choices(Love, Career, Personal), which affects 1 of 3 card- meaning databases to be used. After selection, the unselected databases do not affect or interact with the system. 3. Spread Selection – radio button selection of 1 of 3 choices(Celtic Cross, Horse Shoe, Simple 3 Card). This determines the number of cards being picked and the specific spread database to be used. This also affects the specific report format being used, as well as the card- selection GUI. 4. Card Selection – based on the input 3, a specific layout is shown where the user needs to identify X number of cards (X also determined by input 3) which are then shown in the spread. Every card selection identifies the spread position constants (A, B, C, etc) with specific variable values (Card numbers) creating an array. Report format will display on a separate new page, in the following sequence – - Statement of question asked - Selection of field - Selection of spread - Detailed description of position data, positions identified as per spread selection - Card meaning as picked in field selection 1.4.5 Interfacing/Sourcing Details 1.4.5 Rules and Conditions - Data needs to be calculated for all fields, but only a maximum of 3 cards data should be shown in the free report. For the rest, a payment would be required. - Payment reports not in phase 1 - The report needs to be emailable (so functionality to convert to text file / html document should exist, which will then be emailed to the user’s email address).
