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.
Testing options
Use the approach that fits your goal:
Test limits
Hard caps apply when you create or run a test:
If a journey exceeds these limits, shorten step text, split the flow into multiple tests, or simplify checks before you save or run.
Projects and access
Agentic testing stores test run data in a Performance testing project named Agentic Testing. Grafana Cloud creates this project the first time a Grafana Cloud Admin opens Agentic testing.
By default, only Grafana Cloud Admins can access the Agentic Testing project and use Agentic testing. To grant other users or teams access, a Grafana Cloud Admin updates permissions for the Agentic Testing project. Refer to Manage user or team project access in Performance testing.
In Testing & synthetics > Performance > Projects, the project appears as Agentic Testing.
VUH usage and quotas
Each Agentic testing run is billed as a Performance testing test run and consumes virtual user hours (VUH) from your stack subscription. Refer to Understand your Performance Testing invoice for how VUH is calculated.
To view consumption for the current month, go to Testing & synthetics > Performance > Projects and check the Quota column for Agentic Testing. Refer to Manage projects and Manage project limits and quotas to learn how project quotas work and how Grafana Cloud Admins can change them.
Experimental status and scope
While Agentic testing is experimental, availability may be limited to specific Grafana Cloud stacks or accounts, and 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.
