Fundamental Features of Low-Code Testing Tools

Discover the fundamental features required for low-code and codeless testing tools to effectively support modern web application testing. Learn about coverage areas like functional, API, visual, performance, and accessibility testing, as well as scalability, CI integration, Agile support, and maintenance challenges. Understand how these tools complement code-based frameworks and their cost considerations.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen tremendous growth and investment in codeless and low-code software testing tools. Some of these advancements occurred within the open-source landscape community (for example, Selenium Integrated Development Environment [IDE], Playwright CodeGen Inspector, and so on), while other advancements were seen with the rise of commercial intelligence tools.

Required features for low-code/codeless testing tools

Before we explore the available options, let’s first see what it takes from a features perspective for a codeless or low-code testing tool to compete in the cross-browser testing landscape.

Testing a modern web application across all relevant browser configurations and mobile viewports requires massive coverage and thorough planning. Functional testing, nonfunctional testing—such as performance, security, and ...
