You will be redirected to Test Agent experience where you can simply describe your test requirements in the prompt, and the test is generated. You can then review the generated test before accepting it or make any edits with an updated prompt. Starting with the Australia release, Test generation is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer installed on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base. You will be redirected to Test Agent for future test generation experience. See [Test Agent](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/KjtigkvrIJ37RW9knHUFKQ "Use Test Agent to streamline the process of authoring, running, and troubleshooting tests autonomously from a single interface. Test Agent generates test coverage for code produced by Build Agent, executes tests, and performs root cause analysis on failures, enabling end‑to‑end build‑to‑test workflows within a single development session.") for more information. Note: [ATF Test Generator and Cloud Runner](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=atf-tg-cr-intro&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) is not affected by this deprecation. Only the Test Generation application is planned for future deprecation. Note: Test generation leverages the foundation provided by the Automated Test Framework (ATF). Refer [Automated Test Framework (ATF)](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4hkh6VNi_eAnyfY91R522Q "The Automated Test Framework (ATF) enables you to create and run automated tests to confirm that your instance works after making a change. For example, after an upgrade, during application development, or when deploying instance configurations with update sets. Review failed test results to identify the changes that caused the failure and the changes that you should review.") documentation for further details. The Test generation skill is available only for Next Experience UI users. ## Get started {#test-generation-intro__section_ix3_4gn_kmb} |-|-| | [Explore![]()Learn about Upgrade Management Console](wum3WTYYnL8VM3TZ3Ir0Pg "If you are new to Test generation application, read this overview to learn what the app can do.") | [Use![]() Use the tools, relevant information, and guided setup for your upgrades](2oBAL1LxCRPcE3ggesfRqA "Leverage the power of ServiceNow Otto technology to streamline test creation with the Test generation application.") | | [Reference![]() Learn miscellaneous information about Upgrade Management Console](0xXmL7JPBV3SN9~fl9IV5Q "The reference topics provide additional information about the Test generation application.") | | [ ] {#test-generation-intro__table_iwv_lpv_klb} ## Troubleshoot and get help {#test-generation-intro__section_q2p_kcz_1bc} * [Ask or answer questions about Test generation in the ServiceNow Community](https://www.servicenow.com/community/) * [Search the Known Error Portal for known error articles](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0597477) {#test-generation-intro__ul_r2p_kcz_1bc} For more information, see [AI Admin Hub](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=platform-now-assist-landing&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US). ## AI limitations {#test-generation-intro__id_mpg_qgn_xyb} This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which are rapidly evolving fields of study that generate predictions based on patterns in data. As a result, this application may not always produce accurate, complete, or appropriate information. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this application has been fully trained or tested for your use case. To mitigate these issues, it is your responsibility to test and evaluate your use of this application for accuracy, harm, and appropriateness for your use case, employ human oversight of output, and refrain from relying solely on AI-generated outputs for decision-making purposes. This is especially important if you choose to deploy this application in areas with consequential impacts such as healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure. You agree to abide by [ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy](https://www.servicenow.com/ai-acceptable-use-policy.html), which may be updated by ServiceNow.{#test-generation-intro__p_kv2_nfg_h1c} ## Data processing {#test-generation-intro__id_w3h_qgn_xyb} This application requires data to be transferred from ServiceNow customers' individual instances to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in a different data center region from the one where your instance is, and potentially to a third-party cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure. This data is handled per ServiceNow's internal policies and procedures, including our policies available through our [CORE Compliance Portal](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0564067).{#test-generation-intro__p_lv2_nfg_h1c} ## Data collection {#test-generation-intro__id_qcq_4gn_xyb} ServiceNow collects and uses the inputs, outputs, and edits to outputs of this application to develop and improve ServiceNow technologies including ServiceNow models and AI products. Customers can opt out of future data collection at any time, as described in the [AI Opt-Out page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=opt-out-of-data-sharing-for-now-assist&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).{#test-generation-intro__p_jv2_nfg_h1c}
