non technical pm here, any way to automate testing with no code?

i'm the only pm at a small company and we don't have qa resources. which means before every release i'm the one clicking through everything to make sure nothing broke.

takes me about 8 to 10 hours per release and we ship every two weeks. so basically one full day of my life every sprint is just manually testing the same flows over and over. login, add to cart, checkout, account settings, the whole thing.

asked eng about automation and they said i could learn cypress or playwright but honestly i don't have time to become a developer on top of everything else i'm doing. looked at some no code options and tried spurtest which helped with the checkout testing at least, works pretty well for someone without a coding background. but wondering what other pms do in this situation.

is there actually a way to automate this stuff without coding? or do i just need to accept this is part of the job until we can hire someone?
