Abstract
Lessons from building an exploratory testing agent: what worked, where it struggled, and where human judgment remained essential.
What happens when we ask an AI agent to explore an application rather than follow a predefined test script?
In this demo-led session, I’ll share my experience building an exploratory testing agent that uses Selenium to interact with an application, observe behavior, and report potential problems.
Through a walkthrough and examples from the project, we’ll examine five practical lessons: keeping exploration focused with a bounded charter, working within the limitations of browser automation, enforcing guardrails, shaping investigative behavior through instructions, and reviewing findings with human judgment.
