- Modern software applications demand efficient and reliable testing methodologies to ensure robust user interface functionality. This paper introduces an autonomous reinforcement learning (RL) agent integrated within a Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) framework to enhance UI testing. By leveraging the adaptive decision-making capabilities of RL, the proposed approach dynamically generates and refines test scenarios aligned with specific business expectations and actual user behavior. A novel system architecture is presented, detailing the state representation, action space, and reward mechanisms that guide the autonomous exploration of UI states. Experimental evaluations on open-source web applications demonstrate significant improvements in defect detection, test coverage, and a reduction in manual testing efforts. This study establishes a foundation for integrating advanced RL techniques with BDD practices, aiming to transform software quality assurance and streamline continuous testing processes.
