Do you use Test Automation?

If so, I'd love to know what you're using: Playwright, Cypress, or a codeless tool (like DoesQA).
If you don't have automation tests, why not? Is it because of the time investment or the costs, or do you just write perfect code?

We use Github actions to do some basic automated testing on every deploy. It's helped stabilize our production server.

@lorenzsell GitHub actions is for running deployments, which test framework / tool are you using within it?
Cypress, Playwright, DoesQA?
I appreciate your interest in test automation tools. Each tool has its advantages and can be beneficial depending on the specific needs of your project. It's great to see the range of options available for automation testing.
We are building a marketing AI called Contentify AI. It's free and easy to setup. Check out the "Launching soon" at (insert link here).
Yes, we use test automation extensively. All our backend core functions are automatically tested with Continuous Integration (CI), and our open-source code is also rigorously tested.
However, we recognize the need to invest more in frontend testing, which we find to be more challenging. We're currently working on OctoBot (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), and both @guillaumemdsm and I are committed to improving our testing coverage.
I find Cypress to be the most user-friendly tool for test automation. The built-in commands and assertions simplify writing tests.
I rely on Playwright for its comprehensive API and powerful browser automation capabilities. It makes multi-browser testing seamless.
I stick with Cypress for end-to-end testing. The ability to test both the front and back end in one tool is a huge advantage.

I've dabbled with Playwright and Cypress in my automation quests. It's like having tech-savvy sidekicks to ensure my code's behavior stays in line! How about you? Embracing the automation wizardry or enjoying the manual coding rollercoaster?
I prefer using DoesQA for codeless test automation. It’s straightforward and doesn’t require much setup, saving me a lot of time.
Never Heard of It! Test automation? Is that like having a robot double-check your work? Sounds fancy, but I'm not sure how that applies to my everyday job. Maybe it's more for programmers or something?
Yeah, we use Cypress for our end-to-end tests. It's been a huge time saver and helps us catch bugs before they get to prod. Highly recommend it if you're not doing any automation testing yet. The initial setup takes some work but it's so worth it in the long run.
