vStellar unveils new no-code automation platform

PEX Network’s key takeaways:

• vStellar has introduced vStellar Studio, a new no-code automation platform.
• The platform enables manual testers to use automation in their software testing life cycle (STLC).
• vStellar Studio is designed to address the automation skills gap.

vStellar has introduced a new no-code automation platform, vStellar Studio, designed to help quality assurance (QA) teams build automated tests without writing code. The platform enables manual testers to use automation in their software testing life cycle (STLC).

vStellar Studio brings manual testers and automation engineers together, enabling testers with strong product knowledge to create automated workflows, maintain test suites, and scale test coverage using simple visual tools, according to the announcement.

By democratizing automation, vStellar empowers organizations to reduce release cycles, improve product quality, and elevate the role of QA professionals.

What are no-code automation platforms?

No-code automation platforms are tools that allow users to automate tasks and workflows without writing code. They connect different apps and trigger actions automatically using simple, visual rules.

No-code automation is not a niche – it’s a rapidly expanding part of the software ecosystem, driven by demand for faster, cheaper, and more accessible ways to automate business processes. Both enterprise adoption and individual use continue to climb, and the market is forecast to grow significantly over the next decade.

Addressing the automation skills gap

Traditional automation often requires testers to learn programming languages or complex frameworks. vStellar Studio removes these barriers by offering:

• No-code UI test automation.
• Visual test creation based on real user scenarios.
• Reusable components.
• Self-healing locators that adjust to UI changes.
• Cross-platform execution for UI, mobile, and API testing.

“Automation has long been limited to a small group of specialists,” said the product lead at vStellar. “Studio opens it up for everyone. If testers understand user flows, they already understand automation. Our platform turns that knowledge into executable tests.”

Upskilling without friction

Most automation tools require months of training, but vStellar Studio takes a different path, the firm stated. Testers can convert their written test cases into automated flows in minutes.

“We don’t ask testers to learn Java or Python,” said the product head. “We ask them to use what they already know, like test case design, product logic, and user workflows.”

This approach helps teams expand test coverage quickly, reduce dependency on specialized engineers, and open new career paths for manual testers without making them rely on heavy scripting.

By allowing everyone in QA to contribute to the testing workflow, vStellar Studio removes common bottlenecks. Testers can immediately automate regression suites, critical flows, and validation checks without waiting for code reviews or framework changes.

Key benefits for teams include:

• Accelerated release cycles.
• Reduced regression fatigue.
• Lower onboarding time for new testers.
• Unified QA workflows across manual and automation functions.
• Automation ownership without technical barriers.

Teams can share QA components across projects, replicate best practices, and maintain consistency in quality checks throughout the product lifecycle.
