How to enhance your QA strategy with scriptless testing

Adopting a scriptless approach to testing as the only quality assurance method is risky because it doesn’t provide users with tools to create complex and unusual test scenarios. Thus, users can’t fully test their system and may overlook critical quality issues.

That’s why it’s best to use scriptless testing in combination with other QA approaches. At Apriorit, we combine manual, script-based, and scriptless testing to create a fitting testing strategy for each of our projects. This combination allows us to be flexible with QA activities and find the perfect balance between testing speed, scalability, coverage, and final product quality.

Here’s how we distribute QA activities between various types of testing at Apriorit:

• Script-based test automation is great for autotests that require deep and precise integration into a project. We also use it to create test scenarios that are too complex for scriptless platforms.
• Scriptless test automation helps us to quickly create autotests for GUI elements of our products. We use no-code/low-code tools including Katalon Studio, Leapwork, Selenium, and Nunit to develop and automate simple test scenarios that we’ll need to run lots of times.
• Manual testing is reserved for several cases:

A test case is faster to write manually than to design with dedicated tools

We only need to use the test a couple of times

Buying a license for a dedicated testing tool is more expensive than writing a test case manually

Test automation tools don’t cover the scenario we need to test

As you can see, techniques for scriptless testing have several use cases where they outshine traditional automated and manual approaches. Read the full article on our blog and explore them.
