Yep that's the old defeatist saw. And something we pretty much, all have heard. There's a few of us though who don't take much stock in it, don't consider it to be valid conventional wisdom.

When you see this you will understand why it won't be broken. They would have to just drop automation, to have any hope of it. And even then, there's no hope.

Wanna be a tester?
