WHAT IS AGENTIC TESTING?

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Agentic testing is where the developer states the goal and the agent works out the steps. Agentic tests set a destination, and the agent finds its way there. The loop involves the agent looking, acting, then looking again. Meta ran this loop at scale and found that only a quarter of the output was worth keeping. However, the loop works anyway because the code that doesn't pass is automatically discarded.
