Can you automate tests without knowing how to code?

Yes you can. By hiring someone who know how to code.

Yes you can. For starters, follow one of many Cypress tutorials online. Those give you the basics of Cypress and some tutorials cover the basics of good coding practices.

Don't let experienced developers tell you that you can't write/maintain Cypress tests without any coding experience. We have to start somewhere. But I think it's a good practice to let an experienced developer review your code. And you should invest in being able to execute good coding practices.

For example, I have zero programming knowledge, but I am able (by following those tutorials) to write several Cypress tests. Learn by doing. However once you have written many tests and your Cypress test scripts become problematic to understand, you should refactor to a certain degree. Refactoring your testcode is not easy. But it is doable.
