QA is a programming related activity. These aren't the non programmers you are looking for.

I'm thinking more of shops that aren't pure software dev. Where you have specialists in <whatever the company does> that could use writing some automation themselves but don't have the time or inclination to learn all the modern meta-meta-programming stuff. 30 years ago they would have written some quickie BASIC for their formulas but now the software is based on Rust and C++ 2025 and they don't have time for that.

Basically programming is best handling by ... programming languages. However a domain that's not programming can be handled by a DSL.

But in this case there's your problem right there. That's not a DSL it's a visual code generation tool. Can you think of even one tool like that that hasn't proved itself useless?
