9 agentic end-to-end testing tools to consider in 2025

Ship faster with tools that generate, run, and maintain E2E tests.

How we picked

We focused on tools that (1) generate or maintain tests with AI / agents, (2) cover real world testing use cases and features, (3) integrate with CI/CD, and (4) reduce flakiness and maintenance toil. We grouped each by "best for," then called out key features, target users, upsides, and downsides.

To summarize

"Agentic" today ranges from self-healing locators to full autonomous flow discovery. Try a short PoC on your real app and CI to compare flake rates, maintenance burden, and true run cost.

If you're mostly web and want maximum speed to value, start with Octomind, Testim, or Mabl. For platforms beyond the browser, evaluate Testsigma and Katalon. For "not having to care about any of it" QA Wolf is compelling.
