Autonomous Intelligent Agents for Natural-Language-Driven Web Execution with Integrated Security Assurance

Abstract: Modern web test suites rot. A UI refactor breaks locators, a timing change causes race conditions, and within weeks developers abandon the suite entirely. This paper presents an AI-driven autonomous testing framework that addresses these failure modes through five integrated strategies – navigation reliability, context-aware selector generation, post-generation validation, smart wait injection, and failure learning – implemented over a containerised worker architecture that decouples orchestration from long-running browser execution. Evaluated across four production applications and 176 scenarios, the framework improves script generation success from 55% to 93%, achieves an 8x reduction in navigation failures, eliminates 80% of timing-related race conditions, and reduces test creation time by 75% compared to manual Selenium authoring. The framework extends naturally to security validation: testers describe attack scenarios in plain English – “try accessing another user’s invoice” – which the agent converts to OWASP Top 10-aligned browser probes, detecting 85% of authentication bypass vulnerabilities and 95% of input validation flaws with false positive rates below 12%. Natural-language-driven security testing of this kind represents, to our knowledge, a novel contribution to the field.
