What is Low-Code Test Automation?
Low-code test automation platforms enable testing teams to create and implement test cases with minimal coding skills. This allows testers to save time on building automation scripts and instead focus on developing comprehensive test scenarios with flexibility.
Since coding is not a strong suit for certain team members involved in quality assurance, such as product managers, low-code platforms encourage their active participation in quality checks. This increased engagement allows them to take greater ownership of the testing process, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication with automation engineers. As a result, this approach saves time and effort across the organization and leads to improved product releases.
What is No-Code Test Automation?
While no-code test automation platforms are similar to low-code platforms, they differ in a key aspect: they do not require any coding skills to create and execute test cases. In contrast, low-code platforms require minimal coding, offering more flexibility and customization options.
However, the trade-off with no-code platforms is reduced customization and flexibility, as the ability to fine-tune through minimal coding is entirely removed. Despite this limitation, no-code platforms provide a quick and easy way to automate foundational tests for an application, making them ideal for users seeking efficiency without needing technical expertise.
