AI test agent

An AI-driven system that can autonomously carry out steps in a software testing workflow, such as running test cases, generating automation scripts, reporting results, or triaging bugs, typically via an orchestration layer that coordinates tools like Playwright, Jira, or a CI pipeline. Unlike a simple AI assistant that responds to prompts, an agent can take sequential actions, observe results, and adapt its behaviour across multiple steps without continuous human instruction. Human oversight at key stage gates remains essential to validate the outputs the agent produces.
