I don't have enough vision to put forth a worthy guess as to whether the future could be scriptless. We are an agile software shop and testing is always behind the curve when attempting to keep up with the changes coming from the business. We have some inherent problems with our testing approach such as test dependencies and relying too heavily on mapping but I believe we would still be behind the curves were it not for these things. I could very much guess as to what the developers would name a newly added object but using the Find method is far too slow to be usable.
The ability to analysis the impact of a change up front would be very helpful but the webinar seemed a little "smoke and mirror" to me. I don't recall the verbiage used but it was something like, "Use the app like a user would and it will gather requirements, create impact analysis and nearly write the test for you." A bit too "pie in the sky" for me.
Given there is no migration path from TestComplete to TestLeft I doubt we'll ever see the day our company will re-invest in starting over..
It will be interesting to follow this thread.
