# Welcome to DoesQA

DoesQA helps you test a website without writing code. You build a **Flow** from **Test Steps**, run them in a real browser, and get results you can act on.

New Flows open in the **Scenario editor** as plain-language sentences. When you want more power or flexibility, open the same Flow in the **Flow Builder**.

## Getting Started

Start here if you are new to DoesQA.
