Ensuring seamless customer and employee experiences requires end-to-end testing across web, mobile, desktop, and API layers. For teams managing large regression suites and fast release cycles—often with varying skill levels—low-code and no-code platforms with AI-driven capabilities offer faster, more scalable test automation. Selenium and Leapwork both support enterprise test automation but differ significantly in approach—one open course and code-based, the other no-code composable and built for speed, collaboration, and reuse.

True end-to-end testing
Test end-to-end across Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Azure services, custom-built applications, and even legacy systems. Every critical step of the business process is covered.
Test any app, on any platform
Automate tests on web, desktop, mobile, cloud, and mainframe environments. Teams don’t need separate tools for different platforms, simplifying their tech automation stack and reducing costs.
Painless regression testing
Update test logic once and automatically apply the change across all relevant test flows. Eliminate hours, even days, of manual updates, ensuring faster releases with less risk of defects slipping through.
Build tests visually without code
Intuitive visual interface allows everyone from engineers to business users to build complex data-driven test flows. This democratizes test automation, breaking down silos and fostering collaboration across departments.
AI-Augmented capabilities
From smart element recognition that minimizes test flakiness, to intelligent flow maintenance that proactively resolves breakages, AI is embedded for productivity and reliability. Validate core logic and expected behavior for AI apps like Microsoft Copilot.
Built for enterprise scale
Parallel test execution allows teams to run thousands of tests concurrently across environments. Tamper-proof audit logs, video-based debugging, and role-based access control ensure secure, compliant automation at scale.
"Leapwork helped us modernize QA at scale, saving thousands of hours, boosting efficiency, and turning testing into a strategic advantage for the business."
