The evolution of test automation has led to the emergence of two distinct approaches: codeless and code-based. Each offers unique advantages, challenges, and use cases, making them suitable for different contexts in software testing. This presentation will compare and contrast these two approaches, exploring key factors such as ease of use, maintenance effort, long-term sustainability, and, of course, return on investment (ROI). By examining real-world examples and practical applications, the discussion will provide insights into how organizations can choose the most suitable approach based on their testing needs, team expertise, and project requirements.
