Agentic QA: Autonomy With a Brake

🔥 What happened An IT consultant details a multi-agent workflow that has processed ~140 real user stories into Jira test cases over six months — and deliberately keeps one step non-autonomous. He calls the fully autonomous pipeline demos self-deception. 💡 Why it matters The real question isn't what an agent can do, but how much autonomy a test suite can absorb before control slips. His cautionary tale: 1,000 automated tests, hundreds of false positives, zero real bugs — yet leadership still reported "we're automating." ⚡ Our take Anyone bragging about fully autonomous QA demos has rehearsed them twenty times. That one human checkpoint isn't a weakness — it's the actual product.
