BrowserStack, the global leading software testing platform, has revealed its latest technology breakthrough aimed at speeding up quality delivery for engineering teams. The recently introduced AI-driven Test Failure Analysis Agent significantly shortens the time required for test failure analysis by Quality Assurance teams in an effort to bridge the widening productivity gap between software developers and testing experts.
As more and more development teams resort to AI assistants in order to deliver their features faster, the QA teams end up with manual investigation work. This hinders their velocity. On an average, 28 minutes per failed test has still got manual debugging work on their part.
“Developers have been coding 33% faster with AI coding assistance, but the QA teams were not leveraging any productivity gains,” commented Ritesh Arora, Co-founder and CEO of BrowserStack. “We set out to develop the Test Failure Analysis Agent because we wanted to give the QA teams their productivity gain with AI.”

Unlike other forms of AI technology, the Test Failure Analysis Agent has the unique capability to incorporate end-to-end test context. While other technologies may analyze specific code examples or scripts by themselves, the Test Failure Analysis Agent works entirely within the Test Reporting & Analytics component of the BrowserStack platform to create:
Execution history and test reports
• Stack traces and system logs
• Linked Tickets & Historical Patterns w.r.t Failures
In connecting and analyzing multiple data sources, it is able to find root causes, determine types of failures, and speed up the remediation process.
Key Capabilities
• Root Cause Analysis – Cross-references data points to identify the reason for the failed test.
• Failure Categorization: Identifies whether a bug is a product bug, automation failure, or environment problem.
• Detailed Remediation Actions – Provides specific steps with rich insights and clickable links to issue-tracking tools.
The new agent is fully compatible with popular collaboration and development platforms, including Jira, GitHub, Jenkins, and GitLab, which allow insights to be easily consumed where the team is already working. The Test Failure Analysis Agent, now available in the Test Reporting & Analytics suite from BrowserStack, underlines the commitment of BrowserStack to helping businesses release top-quality software with more speed and assurance than ever before.
