Introduction to Agentic testing

Agentic testing helps you validate critical user flows with functional browser tests in Grafana Cloud. You describe what should happen in plain language, and Grafana Cloud runs the journey in a browser and reports step-level pass/fail results with logs and a session recording.

Agentic testing sits alongside Performance testing and Synthetic Monitoring under Testing & synthetics. Use it when you want to confirm that important journeys work after a change without hand-writing browser test scripts.

Note

Agentic testing is an experimental feature. Engineering and on-call support is not available. Functionality, UI, and availability may change.

When to use Agentic testing

Agentic testing targets single-session functional checks: validating that critical user paths work after a change. Because you describe intent rather than implementation details, tests stay useful when button labels, layouts, or frontend frameworks change.

Agentic testing complements scripted browser tests in Performance testing, k6 Script Authoring mode, and Synthetic Monitoring checks.

Limitations

Keep the following in mind while Agentic testing is experimental:

  • Availability may be limited to specific Grafana Cloud stacks or accounts.
  • UI labels, workflows, and supported journey types may change.
  • Agentic testing targets functional browser journeys, not high-VU load tests or Synthetic Monitoring uptime checks.
