    • As part of the agentic development process on the ServiceNow AI Platform, one of the key features is the automatic generation of Automated Test Framework (ATF) tests.

    When you use agentic development, the ServiceNow AI Platform can:

    • Scaffold the data model, business logic, and user interface based on your prompts.
    • Generate ready-to-use ATF tests that validate the functionality of your new applications or flows.
    • Incorporate quality assurance and code resilience from the start, reducing the need to address them after initial development.
    This means you can go from idea to a working, testable app much faster. After the initial generation, you can refine the app and its tests in ServiceNow Studio or the ServiceNow IDE, and run the ATF tests to verify that the app functions correctly.
    Note:
    Build Agent can create, edit, and run ATF tests. For more information, see Testing what you built.

    ATF has a troubleshooting agent to debug test failures on specific metadata. For details, see ATF troubleshooting agent.
