Explode your coverage with branching tests
User journeys branch. Your tests should too.
Traditional automation forces you to duplicate entire flows just to test small variations. Guest vs logged-in. With discount vs without. Valid input vs invalid input.
Branching in DoesQA lets you build one core journey and extend it with intelligent paths.
More coverage. Less duplication.
Model how users actually behave
Real users do not follow a single happy path. They:
Enter invalid details
Apply expired discount codes
Abandon baskets
Take different paths
Switch languages
Hit edge cases
Branching allows you to test all of these paths inside a single visual flow.
This means your automation mirrors real-world behaviour instead of forcing it into rigid scripts.
Reduce duplication and maintenance
Without branching, each variation becomes a separate test.
That leads to:
Repeated setup steps
Copy-pasted logic
Maintenance across multiple files
Increased surface area for failure
With branching, shared logic stays centralised. Variations split only where needed.
When something changes, you update it once.
Large packs stay manageable.
Expand edge-case and negative testing
Branching makes it easier to test what should not work.
You can:
Validate invalid form submissions
Confirm error messages appear correctly
Test permission restrictions
Ensure blocked paths remain blocked
Negative testing becomes a natural extension of your main journey, not an afterthought.
This leads to stronger confidence in production.
Faster coverage growth
Branching enables rapid expansion of test coverage without exponential growth in complexity.
You can:
Add new feature flags
Introduce new variants
Support new regions or currencies
Combine journeys into new paths
Coverage grows horizontally, not by stacking isolated tests.
This is one of the fastest ways to move from single-digit coverage to meaningful, reliable automation.
Visual, powerful, and accessible
The Flow Designer makes branching intuitive and visual.
For experienced automation engineers, branching unlocks powerful control and test design flexibility.
For manual testers and product owners, it provides a clear visual representation of how journeys connect and where decisions are made.
It becomes easier to communicate intent, review logic, and collaborate across roles.
Testing that matches your system
Modern applications are complex. They contain feature flags, dynamic content, conditional logic, and personalised experiences.
Branching allows your automation to reflect that complexity without becoming fragile or unmanageable.
Instead of fighting variation, you design for it.
Explode your coverage.
Keep your maintenance under control.
