For years, our agency relied on traditional frameworks like Selenium for test automation. It was the industry standard, the “go-to” for any serious QA setup. But over time, we found ourselves tangled in a web of broken scripts, rising maintenance costs, and growing frustration. Regression cycles stretched into weeks, and test coverage never quite caught up with our release velocity.
The Pain Points of Code-Based Automation
We weren’t alone. Every conversation with QA teams echoed the same issues: flaky tests due to minor UI changes, complex selectors breaking silently, and an overwhelming effort to maintain test suites that aged faster than the features they were supposed to validate.
As we scaled and began supporting more clients across domains, especially fast-paced ones like e-commerce and SaaS, we realised that our QA efforts were becoming bottlenecks. Our engineers were spending more time debugging the tests than the actual product. We needed something radically different.
The Turning Point: Build, Not Buy
Faced with stagnating velocity and soaring testing costs, we made a bold decision: build our own in-house solution. We didn’t want another code-based framework.
We envisioned something that our functional consultants, business analysts, and even clients could operate without writing a single line of code.
Thus, Robonito was born. Initially a side project, Robonito started as a no-code interface to define and run test flows. It plugged into browsers, read DOM structures intelligently, and allowed us to write plain English commands to define what we wanted to validate. The maintenance dropped dramatically. So did the time we spent debugging.
From Internal Tool to Full Product
The results were immediate and significant. Regression cycles that once took 500 hours were now completing in under 10. One of our enterprise clients — an e-commerce platform — saw this firsthand. Their massive test suite, which took multiple QA engineers and two weeks to complete, was reduced to a single overnight run using Robonito.
This success got us thinking — if it worked so well for us, it could work for other teams too.
We polished the UX, added features like cloud-based parallel execution, API + web flow testing, and smart visual reports. We added support for AI-powered self-healing, and even built a feature to turn Postman collections into automated test scripts.

Why Now? The AI Revolution in Development
The timing was perfect. Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants were doubling down on AI-generated code. With tools like GitHub Copilot writing entire functions, the development lifecycle was speeding up. But testing was still lagging.
We realised that just as developers were using AI to write code, teams needed AI to test it. So we integrated natural language processing (NLP) into Robonito.
Now, our users could literally describe the test scenario in plain English, and Robonito would convert it into an executable test flow. What used to take hours of scripting now takes minutes.

Under the Hood: What Powers Robonito
Robonito is a cloud-native platform built to support modern QA needs. It supports: — Web and API test automation — Natural Language Test Creation — Self-healing with AI-based element recognition — Parallel execution across browsers — CI/CD integrations and Slack/Jira reporting
It’s designed to be used by QA engineers, product managers, and developers alike. You don’t need to understand XPath or CSS selectors. Just describe what needs to be tested, and let Robonito do the rest.
Enterprise Adoption & Success Stories
Today, multiple enterprise clients in the US, India, and GCC use Robonito. From healthcare to e-commerce to government portals, we’re seeing test cycles shrink and team efficiency rise.
Our flagship success story remains the e-commerce platform that cut down its regression testing from 500+ hours to just 10 using Robonito’s parallel cloud execution and no-code scripting. Their time-to-release is now days, not weeks.
The Future of Testing is No-Code + AI
QA shouldn’t be the bottleneck in software delivery. In a world where developers are assisted by AI to code faster, testers as well need smarter tools to validate faster.
Robonito isn’t just a product — it’s a belief that quality engineering can be intelligent, collaborative, and code-optional. We’re just getting started.
