What Is Autonomous Testing?

Definition

Autonomous testing is a broad term for systems that perform testing work with limited intervention. Vendors use it for different levels of planning, authoring, execution and maintenance.

Why it matters

The label does not tell a buyer who defines correctness, which actions are allowed or how much review is needed. Those responsibilities should be explicit.

How teams handle it today

Teams ask the system to execute a real requirement, inspect its assertions and test a deliberate failure. They establish boundaries for fixtures, side effects and release decisions.

How Zerocheck approaches it

Zerocheck automates execution of team-described browser flows. Your team chooses the requirements and test data, reviews drafted steps and investigates results. It does not independently discover a complete suite or decide whether to release.
