Test Automation has long been a game of scripts, specs, and sweat. But what if your tests could think?In this session, we dive into Hercules, the world’s first open-source testing agent that autonomously executes Gherkin scenarios. Built with the philosophy of Agentic Test Driven Development (ATDD), Hercules reads natural language specs and orchestrates browser/API interactions, no brittle locators, no framework specific drama.
The talk will walk through:
The “Why now?” of agentic automation
How Hercules blends open-source LLMs and a test harness to decode, run, and report Gherkin test cases
Challenges faced while building the world's first open source testing agent.
A live walkthrough showing Hercules in action on a Test-driven development flow.
Learn how Hercules turns plain English test cases (written in Gherkin) into real browser actions, without any code.
See how you can test web apps using AI agents that read and run your test steps automatically.
Understand what’s happening behind the scenes; how the multi-agentic system breaks down test steps, controls the browser, and uses tools like visual validation
