BrowserStack launches AI agent suite to automate, simplify software testing
Empower your mind, elevate your skills
Accel-backed BrowserStack has launched a suite of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered agents integrated across its software testing platform, aimed at helping software teams accelerate release cycles, improve test coverage, and boost productivity.The product suite, called BrowserStack AI , comprises five agents that address key pain points in the software testing life cycle, which are test planning, authoring, maintenance, accessibility, and visual review.The company claims these tools can increase productivity by up to 50% and cut test creation time by over 90%.'We mapped the entire testing journey to identify where teams spend the most time and manual effort and reimagined it with AI at the core,' said Ritesh Arora , CEO and cofounder of BrowserStack. 'Early results are game-changing; our test case generator delivers 90% faster test creation with 91% accuracy and 92% coverage, results that generic LLMs can't match.'Unlike generic copilots or disconnected plugins, BrowserStack AI agents are built directly into BrowserStack products, drawing context-aware insights from a unified data store across the testing lifecycle, the company said.The suite includes the test case generator agent, which creates detailed test cases from product documents, and the low code authoring agent, which turns them into automated tests using natural language.The suite also includes the self-healing agent, which automatically adapts and remediates tests during execution, preventing failures caused by user interface (UI) changes, while the A11y issue detection agent uses AI to surface accessibility issues across websites and apps. Also, the visual review agent highlights only meaningful changes, making reviews faster.The company also has an integration layer, called BrowserStack MCP Server, that enables developers and testers to test directly from their integrated development environments (IDEs), large language models (LLMs) or any other MCP-enabled client.'AI is only useful if it delivers meaningful, context-rich outcomes,' said Arora. 'That's why we've invested in building AI agents that understand test environments, real-world execution data, and user behaviour across thousands of teams.'Founded in 2011 by Ritesh Arora and Nakul Aggarwal, BrowserStack is a cloud-based platform for developers to test websites and mobile apps across different devices, operating systems, and browsers. It operates across 21 data centres worldwide and provides access to more than 30,000 real devices and browsers for testing.In February, the company announced the launch of the AI-powered test platform that consolidates the entire toolchain for quality assurances under one platform from creating, planning, executing and debugging testing, with an aim to help development teams deliver applications faster and smarter.BrowserStack, which said that over 700 engineers are now working on its AI-powered test platform, has more than 20 additional agents in development. The company's tools currently power more than three million tests daily for over 50,000 teams, including companies like Amazon, Microsoft , and Nvidia.

Amritsar: Industries and power minister Sanjeev Arora on Tuesday informed that the Punjab govt was going to form a separate authority for the maintenance of all industrial focal points, which, he claimed, would solve all the problems of the industrialists. Talking to the mediapersons here, Arora said at present, the govt has floated tenders worth Rs 100 crore to upgrade the focal points, which include sewerage, CCTV cameras, lights, roads, and other arrangements. The minister also mentioned that for the convenience of industrialists, the govt was going to develop exhibition centres in Mohali, Amritsar, and Ludhiana at the earliest. He said for the development of industry in Punjab, 'Rising Punjab - From Suggestions to Solutions' events were being organised in all major cities, starting from Amritsar on Tuesday. Arora said the govt was taking various initiatives for the industrialists and coming up with new plans. He also claimed that all approvals for setting up industries in Punjab would be done within 45 days, and these approvals would start from the third to fourth day. "There is no need to visit any office, you just have to apply on a portal," he said, adding that the officers were resolving most of the issues of the industrialists over the phone, and none of the industrialists felt the need to visit any office. The minister further said the govt was going to hold a 'Punjab Investment Summit' in Mohali on March 13 and 14, next year, in which industrialists, traders, NRIs, and foreign companies would be invited, so that they could invest in Punjab. He also informed that the earlier approval limit for 'Right to Business', which was up to Rs 25 crore, had been increased to Rs 125 crore, and it was being ensured that these approvals were provided within five to 15 days. Arora, along with the officials, also visited the focal points of Amritsar and gave instructions for the resolution of all these problems faced by the industrial units at the earliest.

Workplace bullying harms creativity, innovation in employees, says IIM study
Workplace bullying and subtle forms of negative behaviour, such as exclusion, humiliation, or unfair treatment, are silently eroding employees' creativity, according to a new study by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) research has found that such behaviour not only reduces creative thinking but also lowers the chances of employees pursuing innovative side projects, which are often self-initiated and later presented to management when they yield significant side projects, when supported, can become engines of business growth. However, the study highlights how bullying suppresses such RESEARCH DESIGN According to officials, the researchers employed a mixed-method approach to examine the issue. In the experimental scenario-based section, data was gathered from 112 the survey-based part, input from 313 employees working in IT-enabled companies was collected, giving the study a broad Chauhan, PhD scholar at IIM Lucknow, explained: "Our study sheds light on how subtle forms of workplace mistreatment can silently erode employees' creative potential. Organisations must create an environment where support, respect, and open dialogue are the norm to unlock true innovation."HOW NEGATIVE BEHAVIOUR DRAINS ENERGYThe study found that workplace bullying reduces employees' likelihood of engaging in innovative side projects. It also observed that such behaviour drains their 'relational energy', the sense of support and recognition they need to think and transparent communication between managers and employees, the researchers noted, can preserve and revive creative thinking, preventing long-term damage to workplace RECOGNITION FOR THE STUDYThe study received the 'Best Paper in Proceedings Award' in the conflict management division at the 85th Academy of Management (AOM) Conference held in Copenhagen, Payal Mehra, Communications, IIM Lucknow, said: "It is an honour to have our work recognised at a global platform like AOM. We hope these findings encourage companies to not only curb workplace bullying but also actively nurture the creative spark in their employees."CALL FOR STRONGER POLICIESThe study underlined the urgent need for organisations to identify and address negative workplace behaviour. It recommended the implementation of strong anti-bullying policies, alongside proper punitive systems for offenders."Organisations should establish a proper punitive system for detrimental workplace bullying at workplace. Firms can include employee behaviour as a significant metric for their performance assessment to mitigate workplace abuse. They should also offer secure avenues for employees to lodge appeals and enact proactive measures against workplace bullying," the study fostering respect, communication, and fairness, organisations can not only safeguard their employees' well-being but also unlock greater innovation and creativity.(With inputs from PTI)- Ends
