TTL Episode 1: Agentic AI in QA
In the inaugural episode of our podcast series on AI in QA, we dive deep into the concept of Agentic AI and its transformative role in the quality assurance landscape. This episode introduces listeners to a new paradigm—AI agents that go beyond automation and enter the realm of intelligent, goal-oriented execution.
What is Agentic AI? Agentic AI refers to systems or agents that are not only reactive but also proactive. These agents can make decisions, plan actions, learn from interactions, and execute workflows autonomously based on high-level goals. Think of them as smart assistants that understand context, make decisions, and even revise their strategies mid-execution.
Why QA Needs Agentic AI Traditional QA practices are time-consuming and prone to repetitive effort. With increasing application complexity, faster delivery cycles, and growing test surface areas, conventional automation falls short. Agentic AI fills these gaps by:
- Understanding test objectives and autonomously generating or updating test scripts.
- Adapting to UI changes or backend alterations with minimal manual intervention.
- Integrating with NLP pipelines for smarter defect logging and risk identification.
Use Cases in QA
- Autonomous exploratory testing based on application usage data.
- Self-healing test frameworks that revise themselves based on system changes.
- Conversational interfaces for test execution and status updates.
How to Start Implementing
- Define agent goals clearly (e.g., "ensure checkout flow passes on all browsers").
- Use LLM-powered tools (like GPT or Claude) as agents with system access.
- Combine with RPA and API triggers to enable system-wide test actions.
Key Takeaway: Agentic AI is not just a tool—it's a framework for intelligent, responsive QA. As the field evolves, embracing these AI-driven agents will be key to staying ahead.
