I test manually and automate when I am done with the manual testing. Reason for this it takes a lot longer to write auotmated tests then one would think. With two week delivery cycles, product comes first. Having said that, 95% of my tests are automated and works well. I have run the gamut of dev, qa and cm. Currently in QA. I do see a distinction between development and automation qa. Development build products. QA breaks products. Automation QA does need a development mindset though to automate. If you are a set theory fanatic one can say that QA-Automaters are a superset of Developers. You need those development skills and in addition have the skillset that it takes to know how to break software.
