Building open source agents for software testing thumbnail
Talk Description

We love technology innovations and the exciting new features they bring. But our regression tests? 

Not so much. Frequent updates to UIs and APIs often result in brittle tests and heavy maintenance overhead. As the future of user interfaces evolves—possibly with dynamically generated elements thanks to advancements like Generative UI frameworks—testing solutions need to be equally adaptive and “intelligent.”
 

In this session, we’ll introduce an open-source testing agent designed to "understand" modern systems and "act" dynamically using tools like browsers, APIs, and document parsers. 

After attending, participants will walk away with actionable insights into leveraging open-source technology to create resilient, end-to-end tests with speed and efficiency. 

Additionally, attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at the process of building smart agents—from basic web interactions to production-ready capabilities that tackle challenges like iframes and shadow DOMs.
