Thereās a trend emerging and solidifying in the tooling space. Itās called ācodelessā.
In a testing context, what does ācodelessā mean to you? What has been your experience of using codeless testing tools? What else does the term mean to you? How is it helping the testing craft?
Iām also curious about AI and its relationship with codeless testing. Might āPrompt Testingā or āPrompt Engineeringā become a thing with the rise in interest and investment in AI tooling?
To me ācodelessā = ācaffeine freeā. It seems okay at first and thenā¦ blahhhhhā¦
This reminds me of when I first switched from development to QA twenty years ago. Inheriting messy QTP scripts ārecordedā by interns and refactoring them into something reusable that provides value. Interacting with and manipulating the UI is the easy part. Can these codeless tools be customized to verify crucial business logic ?
I was out and about 
I was following the codeless/no-code/RPA/low-code space from 2018-2022 and have numerous blog posts and an MoT article on the matter. lowcode | Complexity is a Matter of Perspective
Low code is, when you squint at it, all about the visualization and abstraction of something that previously took coding in IDEs, tinkering in Excel sheets, and similarly skilled IT labor to configure. Itās really nothing new in the history of IT.
yes. The fuzz about conversational programming is already out & about. And will only grow in the coming 2-4 years. Copilots for IDEās will enable a new form of higher-order programming levelā¦ and we will have outsmarted ourselves yet again.
