I am looking for a tool that automates the test without having to write any codes. I have found some like Applitool but it is bit confusing and has more features than required making to difficult to use. I’m looking for a easy to use tool and should be free to some extent at least.
I’ll be using this tool for automating processes, comparing screenshots, and getting a report.
If anyone is using these type of tools please do suggest me. Thanks in advance

There are so many low-code tools out there, google will be your friend. It kind of is context dependent. What kind of tests are you looking to do, just purely UI tests or are you looking to do some API tests also?
Got any team members who might have some experience with some tools?
Are you planning to put these tests into a Pipeline? (for CI/CD)

I’m not sure what exactly are your testing needs? Katalon Studio has a free plan and TestProject is also free. Other such tools often have free trials you can check out.

I’m looking for UI Tests for now. Since it takes a lot of time to write the codes for each and every thing, thought of using tools for it. I’ll be using it to automate the process and redo it again and again, comparing screenshots, get brief reports.
And no these test won’t be put into Pipelines, its just for my easiness

yes i did check on TestProject. Looks good. But wanted to know if anyone is using some tools already so that i can get to know their experience which would be helpful for me too.

Would a Record-And-Playback tool work?
Selenium IDE is a free tool that watches what you do on a webpage, then lets you replay your actions. You can also add assertions to monitor what your site is doing.
I’ve used it quite a bit; It works alright for what it is. You might end up needing to re-record every so often, and you’ll need to know a tiny bit of programming, or, well, more like logic, but that’s about it.
I’d also suggest Screener.io. Full disclosure, I work there, and it’s a paid tool, but we’ve got a neat record-and-playback tool and some sophisticated visual comparison features, so you can figure out if parts of the page have changed and how, as well as ignoring visual changes you don’t care about (like, say, adds)

I think it’ll be easier to answer if you can share what exactly you are planning to test. Is it a web application or some sort of business software?
Rest, if you need to check on some third-party and open-source test tools that are mostly used by professionals, it can selenium, Katalon Studio, Appium, Apache JMeter, TestNG, Cucumber, etc.
I hope that helps!
Rest, I’ll be able to suggest better if you can help me know the objective of your project.

I believe its a web app, a line of business (internal users) app that uses , probably lots and lots of forms, a loan applications approval system I believe, from chatting to Solona a few weeks ago I recall.

Yes Record and Playback tool works. Selenium IDE is too messed up, I have used it couple of times. I’m looking for something easy to use tool, and I could also make changes to the codes that these tool will generate. And thank you for the suggestion on Screener.io it looks good, I’ll give it a try.
Thank you

@kanikavatsyayan yes @conrad.braam is right, I’d use this tool to automate on forms, stepwise processes, check on pdfs, compare few screenshots, verify the results that we see on completions. Thats it for now, I’ve been writing codes on selenium for these, but you know it’s time consuming to write codes for everything, so I was looking for some tools. Thanks

Appium “eyes” is apparently good for screenshot type comparisons, especially when it comes to PDF’s. not tried using “eyes” myself. The trouble is that ecosystem’s best value is when you are tying yourself into it and paying for all of the services. Which may mean you want to also check out Automated Software Testing Tools - Inflectra .
Let us know how screener.io works out, the best things are almost never free, so you want to speak to a manager about budget early.
