Accelerating software delivery with agentic QA automation using Amazon Nova Act

Quality assurance (QA) automation is critical for modern software delivery. It catches regressions before production, validates user journeys at scale, and enables confident feature releases. But traditional QA automation solutions are brittle and demand specialized programming knowledge, decelerating software delivery.

Automation frameworks rely on implementation details including UI selectors, element identifiers, and structural references to navigate applications. When developers refactor UI code or designers adjust layouts, tests break even though functionality remains intact. This maintenance burden stems from a mismatch in how teams work. Product managers define acceptance criteria in the business language, development teams implement features, then developers write automation code. This puts distance between testing and those who understand user needs, forcing software teams to maintain tests instead of delivering features.

These challenges are addressed by Amazon Nova Act, an AWS service to build fleets of reliable agents that automate production UI workflows at scale. Its custom computer ...
