Qualitia Automation Studio is a scriptless test automation platform that makes building, executing, and managing automation tests simple, fast, and easy. Using the script-less approach you can easily develop and automate tests without any tool or programming knowledge.

Qualitia uses some third-party software components, most of which are bundled with Qualitia. Some software components cannot be bundled with the Qualitia installable due to their respective licensing policies. 

You may have to install one or more components based on your role to get started with automation testing. Qualitia gives you provision to install all these components on the same machine and different machines as well.
