How many people would still be intrested in manual testing?

Automated gherkin testing can be recorded with it as well, but the this
might be better handled via a trac plugin:

it does provide a feedback loop between buildbot and trac which would help
in the beta phase. Release candidates and other builds that are
successfully built and tested by buildbot would be passed over to TestRail,
so testers can do manual testing for things that cannot be automated. When
a manual test fails, it is reported to a test manager who can choose
whether to have it reported to trac.
