In this episode of the TestGuild Automation Podcast, I'm joined by Don Jackson, Technical Evangelist at Perforce, to explore a bold new frontier in automation testing: true agentic AI. We unpack the groundbreaking tech behind Perfecto's latest release and what it means to test smarter, faster, and with zero hassle. Don shares how this new form of automation, powered by natural language, computer vision, and LLMs, lets you test like a human but with the speed of AI. No scripts. No frameworks. No brittle locators. Just plain-language instructions that drive real user-experience testing at runtime. You'll learn: What "agentic AI" really means and how it goes beyond traditional test automation How to run intelligent UI tests across devices without writing a single script Why this approach could finally bring automation to business testers and non-coders Real-world use cases, from validating stock charts and UI branding to exploratory testing at scale What to watch out for: prompting quality, performance tradeoffs, and trust Whether you're a skeptical scripter or just tired of flaky UI tests, this conversation will challenge how you think about automation—and show you what's now possible.
