“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.
