Codeless Testing Tools to Solve the Challenges of Test Automation in 2020

The world is entering a new age of technology: codeless applications, which are accessible to users at all levels. Popular codeless tools like Wix or Squarespace are making significant changes to the way non-dev users get involved in the product development cycle. By going codeless, teams can now fill in the gap between the accelerating demands of product delivery and the skill sets of the team members. Software testing is not an exception to the movement towards codeless practices.

Specifically, it was intended to work with our large codebase that is modified by our devs daily.
