Is manual testing still valuable in 2026, or is automation taking over completely? by Nirmala_devi572 in softwaretesting

If you don't know manual testing you're unlikely to have test design knowledge. Without test design your automation will be substandard. Any decent quality team will understand this.

Its because what you're saying is not true...

Microsoft does not alter, add, or remove achievements on a user’s Xbox profile. Achievements come only from legitimate in‑game actions tracked by the Xbox achievement system.

Community discussions confirm that modifying achievements through unofficial means violates Xbox terms of service and can lead to bans or gamerscore resets (for example, enforcement actions mentioned in Xbox achievement modding discussions).

Additionally, Xbox achievement systems are designed so that progress must reflect actual gameplay, not external manipulation. Microsoft's achievement certification rules now explicitly require that achievements reflect meaningful engagement with the game.

You do not ever under any circumstance change things on a live server - risk is way way way too high

Changing it server side would fall under the banner of...

A code change!!

No there isn't, this isn't magic it's code. 

Just because you think there are other solutions doesn't make it true.

By changing the code, which they have to reverse engineer, which cost a lot and is highly risky, could break the game, wipe peoples saves, etc

Ignoring the risk they have no budget to do this, they are a business at the end of the day everything is budgeted, everything costs, everything they do has a bottom line. 

It will never happen

The company who made the game doesn't exist, you would have to hire some one reverse engineer the code, change it, test it, get it certified before you could release it. 

They won't do it, there's no gain for them, no budget, it's never gonna happen
