The What and Why of Low-Code Application Testing

Low-code app frameworks reduce the amount of time and programming skills required to produce an application, but functional testing and performance testing for low-code apps are just as critical as they are for conventional applications. Low-code apps require thorough testing and vetting before release, particularly in terms of discovering bugs within prebuilt components, testing APIs, ensuring external resources can be consumed, and reviewing overall quality. Performance and deployment unpredictability also pose challenges, making performance testing even more important. Additionally, low-code platforms often have limitations on deployment configurations, reducing the complexity associated with building an app, but requiring QA teams to ensure compatibility with various environments.
