Popup Agent

1. What is Popup Agent?

Dynamic popups can block UI interactions during automated test runs, resulting in flaky or unreliable test outcomes. In real-world applications, unexpected UI elements such as:

1. Advertisements

2. Permission requests

3. One-time disclaimers

4. Survey prompts

5. Half-screen cards

2. Problem Statement

Unexpected popups are non-deterministic in nature and do not appear consistently across test runs. This creates challenges for traditional automation frameworks:

1. Tests may fail if a popup appears and is not explicitly handled.

2. Adding manual handling for every possible popup increases test complexity and maintenance overhead.

3. Popup Agent Overview

Popup Agent is an autonomous capability in Drizz AI designed to handle unexpected popups during test execution without requiring explicit test steps.

4. Functional Capabilities

Popup Agent performs the following actions during a test run:

1. Detects popups that appear dynamically.

2. Determines whether the popup is blocking the test flow.

3. Dismisses the popup automatically if required.

4. Continues test execution without altering the test logic.

No additional commands or configurations are required from the user.

5. Execution Model

1. Popup Agent runs in the background throughout the test lifecycle.

2. It operates independently of user-authored test steps.

3. It intervenes only when a popup impacts test progression.

6. Key Benefits

1. Eliminates the need to write separate test logic for popup handling.

2. Reduces test execution delays caused by unexpected UI interruptions.

3. Improves overall test stability and reliability.

4. Handles multiple popup types, including system permissions and in-app prompts.

7. Trigger Conditions

Popup Agent is activated when:

1. A popup appears unpredictably during test execution.

2. The popup blocks interaction required for the next test step.

Popup Agent ensures uninterrupted automated testing by autonomously managing unexpected popups. It removes a common source of test flakiness while keeping test cases clean, minimal, and maintainable within Drizz AI.
