Accelq Inc., a platform for automating code-free app delivery, announced Tuesday the introduction of Accelq Live, which will bring seamless cloud-native integration and testing into the development pipelines of application with low code and no code.
As businesses continue to increase their reliance on low-code and no-code technology stacks such as Salesforce, ServiceNow and Workday, it has become more difficult to provide adequate test automation, said the founder and Chief Executive of Accelq Mahendra Alladi at SiliconANGLE in an interview.
“Traditional test automation is too complicated even for conventional software environments,” Alladi said. “There is a need to simplify and speed up the testing phase, and develop the ability to quickly validate changes.”
With the launch of Accelq Live, business users will be able to create no-code apps using their favorite cloud-native platforms, and the platform will reduce test complexity by automatically updating itself as it updates. these platforms. This eliminates the burden on development teams to keep up with uncode app platforms when they update to ensure that patches don’t ruin testing.
Users will also have access to pre-built codeless automation test assets modeled on business processes designed to work in multicloud environments. This makes it easier for business users to build their own apps without code and then modify the tests to fit them using Live.
No-code and low-code apps development platforms have grown significantly over the past few years, reaching global market revenue of $ 13 billion by 2020, according to Statista, and the market is predicted to will reach $ 65 billion by 2027. The trend is believed to be largely driven by how these tools allow anyone, regardless of technical expertise, to engage in app development, which includes design, implementation and deployment.
Although low-code and no-code app development frameworks have proliferated, Alladi explained that low-code testing automation has caught on. That created a gap in skills and greatly slowed down the pace of development when it comes to preparing tests and ensuring code quality as it goes live. It also means that test automation has become a “specialist function” that takes developer time away from other things, such as building more functionality on a platform.
“Test automation has traditionally been an intensive programming exercise,” Alladi said. “And you need an advanced level of programming skills to automate the complex interactions that modern cloud apps bring. Plus, the constant innovation and upgrades introduced by enterprise cloud-apps will mean that test scripts require heavy maintenance. “
Alladi said reducing the complexity of test automation by providing hundreds of pre-defined, modular components will help eliminate most of what is preventing users from gaining momentum. To make it more accessible, test assets are managed in plain English, using the language of the business process.
“This problem doesn’t just require another tool for codeless automation testing,” Alladi said. “It needs a fundamentally different approach that takes the best of both worlds of automation with no code but at the same time is built on a design-first approach where the result is sustainable and stable.”
