Top Reasons to Go Script-Less in Your Test Automation

 Test automation has always been attractive. For the very fact, that it reduces repetitive and mundane testing efforts and accelerates regression testing - it is surely attractive. Every testing team wants it and has it. But why is it that the return on investment on automated testing tools is so poor? Why has your product's time-to-market not accelerated post the integration of automation into development and testing cycle?

The answer surely doesn't lie in the capability of the tool chosen or how that tool is being used to achieve the objective.


All test automation tools demand scripting. Testing teams need to understand the tool's native language to build test automation. Have you ever wondered how much time and money goes into maintaining a separate development life cycle to build and maintain this script based test automation environment?


Whenever the product undergoes change with each new release, the automated test suites must also change. What about the time and money invested to build automation previously? As the test suite increases, will you invest more time and more money to re-code the test-cases with each release? Have you calculated the impact of this change? How quickly can you take control of the change(s)?


The answer lies in how easy, quick, and scalable can you make test automation. How quick and easy is it for your team to build automation...


We decided to find out.


Script-less Test Automation. It is like taking the best of the best and getting rid of the worst. All you need is a change in the approach. You will still use your test automation tool(s) but will now build automation without the need to know how to code in it.


Test automation will continue to deliver what it promises: reduced repetitive testing efforts and accelerated regression testing. But, going script-less will ensure you achieve these results much faster than promised by script based automation.


Here are some strong reasons why you should drop the scripts and take your automation far away from the tool language. It's time to cut the umbilical cord!


1. Time-to-automate shortens by almost 40%


The faster you automate, the faster the products can go to market. The equation is simple. Going script-less ensures your testing team(s) can automate large test suites 1.6 times faster than ever before. And this holds true when the product undergoes change with each major release!


2. Let the testing team do what it is best at


Going script-less saves your testing team loads of time in building automation. With no coding to do, they can now invest their time in achieving highest test coverage. This ensures your testing team can catch bugs at an early stage of product development and you build superior quality product at speeds that you have never experienced before.


3. Visibility into test automation for the domain champs


Now this is the biggest benefit. Till date, business analysts and subject matter experts could not participate in the automation process, as the coding world was Greek and Latin to them. Now with this approach, they can actually establish the working of entire test automation suite or even an individual test case to ensure the product is tested for its optimum quality - not only once, or twice, but release after release.


4. Save money on building in-house scripting skills


Yes, now no more long training sessions on how to use automation tools! Going script-less will ensure building test automation is just a few clicks away.


In the end, it comes down to a simple question. Do you desperately want to revolutionize the test automation experience within your testing team? If yes, then going script-less is not one of the ways. It is THE WAY.
