Specialized AI Agents

Test Companion uses specialized agents for different testing tasks, broken into two categories:

1. Core (Persona-Based) Agents

• Tester: Helps with all standard testing tasks, from test case generation to automation.
• Dev Tester: Specifically helps developers to test code written.

2. Specialized Agents

• Test Case Generator: Creates comprehensive test cases quickly from your documentation.
• Exploratory Testing: Creates comprehensive test cases by exploring your application URLs or pages.
• UI Test Generator: Generates runnable UI test scripts based on your test cases or user flows.
• API Test Generator: Generates runnable API test scripts based on your URL endpoints or documentation.
• Test Fixer: Finds the root cause and automatically stabilizes failing or flaky tests.
