As an Advisory Automation Tester with rather limited coding skills, I’ve personally been stepping the path as in the conclusion: I’m a very open and critical mind, who keeps asking questions to ensure that the best solution is created. And in the process, I’m picking up new coding skills too – but only to an extent at which I can communicate better with code-skilled team members.
By the way, for ‘no-but-allowing-code’ test automating UIs and APIs I’m code-skilled to the point of tweaking object locator strategies and reading/utilizing e.g. json and xml.
I look very much forward to seeing a lot more Testers who want to follow me in such journey stepping a similar path!
