// BEST FOR
- Low-code authoring of web and API E2E tests with AI assistance
- Auto-healing tests that adapt to UI changes to reduce maintenance
- Built-in analytics and insights on test runs and quality trends
- A managed cloud platform with nothing to self-host
- Teams wanting continuous quality wired into the pipeline
- Mixed-skill teams authoring without heavy coding
// AVOID WHEN
- You want a free or open-source framework (Playwright/Cypress)
- Code-first control over every test is required
