AI-powered automated test generation

Learn how to automate tests from well-written test cases directly, using AI.

In Low Code Automation, while you can manually record test steps with ease by performing actions on the browser, AI-powered test generation simplifies the process even further. Testers can automate well-written test cases directly without manual recording. This makes test creation faster, increases productivity, and helps teams improve their automation no matter their experience level.

It provides the following benefits:

• Testers can automate test cases quickly, reducing manual work.
• Teams can automate more tests faster, enabling them to scale quickly.
• Testing can start earlier in development, finding problems sooner and improving quality.

This guide covers two primary ways AI can streamline your testing process:

• Automate test cases using AI in Low Code Automation: Easily create and execute tests with AI in Low Code Automation without the need for manual recording.
• Automate test cases using AI from Test Management: Easily automate manual test cases using AI from BrowserStack Test Management.

Prerequisites

Ensure that BrowserStack AI has been enabled for your account. For more information, refer to Activate BrowserStack AI.

Automate tests using AI in Low Code Automation
