What you can do with a coded framework
Script any journey a browser can follow, in the language your engineers use.
Run tests across browsers from CI.
Debug failures with logs and traces.
Keep unit and component tests next to application code.
What you can do with DoesQA
Also in DoesQA: build web journeys across Chrome, Edge and Firefox, start Runs from CI, and read every Result step by step with screenshots and video.
Faster maintenance
Shared Elements and Step Groups hold the parts journeys share, so one fix updates every Flow that uses them. Maintenance is at least 400% faster than coded frameworks for the same journeys.
Flows your whole team reads
Build in Scenario editor or Flow Builder. Product owners, testers and developers read the same Flow, so coverage is no longer gated on engineering time.
Code vs codeless at a glance
Capability | Coded framework | DoesQA |
|---|---|---|
Author journeys | Scripts and page objects | Codeless Flows |
Run from CI | Yes | Yes, with GitHub Checks on your pull request |
Debug a failure | Logs and traces | Step timeline, screenshots and video |
Keep tests current | Edit everywhere | Fix once in shared Elements and Step Groups |
Who can read the test | Engineers | QA, developers and product |
Leave later | You own the code | Export to Playwright, Cypress, Selenium or WebdriverIO |
Which one fits
Choose a coded framework if your engineers want unit and component tests next to the application code.
Choose DoesQA if you want the most comprehensive and easiest test automation solution for anything on the web.
Questions
Can I use both?
Yes. Keep unit and component tests in code and put feature journeys in DoesQA.
Can I get code out of DoesQA?
Yes. You can export any Flow as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium or WebdriverIO code at any time. See how export works.
