# Codeless vs Code

## Test Runners

What are tests without runners?

Many teams pick an open-source code framework without knowing the running costs.

| Code                                                                                                                                                              | DoesQA                                                                                           |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| <p>Tests need runners from cloud providers like LambdaTest, BrowserStack, or SauceLabs.</p><p></p><p>These are very expensive and time-consuming to maintain.</p> | <p>DoesQA includes super fast runners in every plan.</p><p>DoesQA is 86% cheaper per runner.</p> |

## Features

Code CAN do everything.

DoesQA already HAS everything.

| Code                                                                | DoesQA                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A great SDET with the available time can build everything you need. | Visual Regression, Email Testing, Authentic MFA generation, Adyen, Lighthouse, Pa11y, Setting Custom Headers, File Generation…. and so much more. |

## Speed

Automation Testing must outpace development!

If you can't do this, confidence will drop, and costs will skyrocket.

| Code                                                   | DoesQA                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Coded test packs are very slow to set up and maintain. | <p>DoesQA is the fastest way to build automation tests and there's nothing to maintain.</p><p>10x faster creating tests.</p> |

## Complexity

Everyone understands that your tests are essential to building confidence.

| Code                                                                             | DoesQA                                                                             |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Very few will have the coding skills and time it takes to understand your tests. | Everyone can easily understand every test without any coding skills or experience. |

## Cost

Why pay more and get less?

| Code                                                                                                                               | DoesQA                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| There are many hidden costs of a code-based automation test pack. Time, Skill-requirement, Remote Runners, CI/CD Pipeline minutes. | <p>DoesQA is an all-in-one with no hidden costs.</p><p></p><p>Everything you need is included in every plan and our customers report saving over 90%!</p><p></p><p><a href="https://does.qa/blog/saves-client-300000-dollars">Superdry™ reported saving over $300,000 by switching to DoesQA</a>.</p> |
