AI Agents

Posium's AI agents work together automatically to automate development and maintenance of end-to-end software test cases:

Discovery Agent

Intelligently analyzes your application to understand its type (SaaS, e-commerce, etc.), identifies authentication patterns, and determines essential test scenarios needed for comprehensive coverage. Understanding the type of application inherently makes Posium unique because it comes with an array of ready to use test cases basis the nature of the application. For instance, an ecommerce app will automatically include test cases for user signup, login, browsing through product listing & detail pages, add to cart and check out functioanlity. Creating additional test cases on top of these auto-discovered tests makes it easy to achieve high levels of test coverage.

Planning Agent

Scans individual pages and user interfaces to design detailed test flows, mapping out user journeys and interaction patterns for thorough test coverage. This agent not only understands the page layout but is also able to identify UX components such as a hamburger menu, accordions, chevrons and much more, thereby freeing the QA from having to worry about the nitty-grrty details of each control type, ID, position and so on.

Code Generation Agent

Once the Planning agent completes designing the test flow, it automatically generates robust test code. The code relies on the PlayWright framework for web applications and since the code is sitting outside the application, Posium is able to test any application as long as it is accessible via the browser. We have even used Posium to test GMail & Jira. Posium is able to do this without having to know anything about the programming languages and frameworks used in building the application. And since the outcome of the Code Generation Agent is, well, code the tests are always deterministic. The tests don't change on their own because AI has been used to generate the code.

Flake Resistance Agent

One key issue that often requires rework from QA & Test Engineers is the need to refresh tests because the UI layout changes, control IDs changed or some functionality change. Each of these cases cause the existing tests to fail, which is where the Flake Resistance Agent comes into play. This agent looks at Tests that are failing and attempts to auto-heal them by replaying the Planning & Code Generation agents. Thereby the agent is able to proactively identify and call out flaky tests. The agent notifies the project admin of such tests which can be auto-healed with one-click and ensuring consistent test results.

Auto Test Maintenance Agent

Automatically updates and adapts test suites as your application evolves, ensuring tests remain current with your product's latest features and changes.
