Agentic QA automation using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser and Amazon Nova Act

Quality assurance (QA) testing has long been the backbone of software development, but traditional QA approaches haven’t kept pace with modern development cycles and complex UIs. Most organizations still rely on a hybrid approach combining manual testing with script-based automation frameworks like Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright—yet teams spend significant amount of their time maintaining existing test automation rather than creating new tests. The problem is that traditional automation is brittle. Test scripts break with UI changes, require specialized programming knowledge, and often provide incomplete coverage across browsers and devices. With many organizations actively exploring AI-driven testing workflows, current approaches are insufficient.

In this post, we explore how agentic QA automation addresses these challenges and walk through a practical example using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser and Amazon Nova Act to automate testing for a sample retail application.
