Low-Code/No-Code Test Automation: Trends, Benefits, and Challenges

Abstract
The increasing demand for faster software delivery and the democratization of technology have fueled the rise of low-code/no-code platforms for test automation. These platforms empower individuals with limited coding experience to create and execute automated tests, accelerating testing cycles and reducing reliance on specialized developers. This research paper examines the current trends driving the adoption of low-code/no-code test automation, including the growing complexity of software systems, the need for faster time-to-market, and the increasing demand for cost-effective testing solutions. The study explores the benefits of these platforms, such as reduced testing time and costs, increased test coverage, improved collaboration between development and testing teams, and enhanced scalability. Furthermore, it addresses the associated challenges, including the potential limitations in customization and flexibility for complex scenarios, concerns regarding platform dependency and vendor lock-in, integration with existing testing frameworks and tools, the need for up skilling testing teams, and balancing ease of use with the depth of testing capabilities. The analysis also highlights the transformative impact of these platforms on software development organizations and their role in ensuring software quality in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape.
