Autonomous regression testing for Government

Autonomous regression testing for government. Public bodies require on-premise systems so citizen data never leaves the country.

Autonomous Regression Testing for Government

Ensure the stability of critical public services with a self-hosted AI testing platform designed for strict data sovereignty. Our solution provides autonomous regression testing for enterprise web applications using AI computer-use agents. By operating entirely on-premise via a containerized deployment, the platform ensures that sensitive citizen data never leaves the country, meeting the most rigorous regulatory requirements for data residency and security. Unlike traditional testing tools, the system utilizes a model-agnostic architecture that separates reasoning from execution. It complements existing deterministic scripts by deploying AI agents to handle long, multi-role, and frequently changing scenarios. This hybrid approach allows government agencies to maintain stable core flows while autonomously validating complex business logic across multiple user roles, all while maintaining a full audit trail of every action, build stamp, and model expenditure.

Capabilities

Addressing Public Sector Challenges

✓

Guaranteed data sovereignty via a self-hosted, ten-container deployment with no external SaaS dependency.

✓

Enhanced audit transparency with detailed records of every step, build stamps, and identity-linked run logs.

✓

Reduced manual overhead for complex workflows through AI agents that reason through screenshots and objectives.

✓

Accelerated defect detection by identifying product bugs independently before they impact citizen-facing services.

✓

Secure credential management using an encrypted secret store for deterministic, script-based logins.

✓

Optimized operational costs through a two-tier model execution strategy and granular call-level metering.

Enterprise-Grade Testing Capabilities

Multi-Role Workflow Validation

Simulate complex government processes where creators, approvers, and suppliers each operate in fresh, independently authenticated browser sessions.

Model-Agnostic Architecture

Switch AI models via database configuration without redeploying code, utilizing a two-tier execution system to optimize costs.

Independent Verification

Assertions are checked by an independent verifier rather than the agent performing the work, ensuring objective results.

Deterministic Integration

Complements existing tools like Playwright by using scripts for stable flows and AI agents for long, frequently changing scenarios.

Comprehensive Cost Accounting

Every model call is metered and aggregated from the call level up to the release, providing full visibility into testing spend.

The Autonomous Testing Process

1Define scenarios as versioned YAML objectives containing roles, assertions, and time budgets.
2The agent observes screenshots and reasons through actions one turn at a time, persisting every step.
3Parallel agents execute against shared environments using run-scoped data naming to prevent collisions.
4Failures are classified by type, such as product defect, environment failure, or timeout.
5Suspected bugs are flagged in a report for human review; a person must verify and file the defect to Jira or Qase.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is citizen data protected during testing?

The platform is self-hosted using ten containers and a shared artifact volume, ensuring no external SaaS dependency and that data remains within your own infrastructure.

Does the AI automatically file bugs in our tracking system?

No. To maintain human authority, the AI identifies suspected defects and generates a report, but a human must review and manually file it to Jira or Qase.

How does the system handle complex, multi-step government workflows?

It uses multi-role workflows with separate authenticated sessions and 'route memory,' which distills successful paths into step intents to guide future runs.

Can we integrate this with our existing test management tools?

Yes, it integrates with Qase.io, importing test cases verbatim and posting results back to the run with links to evidence, while skipping API-tagged tests.

How are AI model costs managed and optimized?

The system uses a two-tier execution model where a cost-effective model runs first, escalating to a stronger model only upon agent-side failure, with all costs metered per call.
