Agentic Exploratory Testing: Validating the Unexpected
Autonomous exploratory testing is an unscripted software validation approach in which AI agents dynamically interact with an application using reasoning rather than predefined scripts. Instead of following documented paths, these systems leverage heuristic-based exploration and context-awareness to navigate complex interfaces, map undocumented application states, and surface the "unknown unknowns" that structured testing consistently misses. Unlike… Continue reading Agentic Exploratory Testing: Validating the Unexpected
