An Agentic System Record-and-Replay Testing Technique is a testing technique that captures agent execution trajectorys for deterministic replay in regression testing scenarios.
- AKA: Agent Trajectory Recording Technique, Deterministic Replay Testing, Agent Session Replay Method, Execution Trace Replay Technique.
- Context:
- It can typically record agent decision sequences with environmental states and action outcomes for exact reproduction.
- It can typically preserve non-deterministic elements like random seeds, timestamps, and external API responses.
- It can typically enable debugging efficiency through step-by-step replay with state inspection capability.
- It can often support differential testing by replaying identical scenarios across system versions.
- It can often facilitate test case generation from production traces with anonymization processes.
- It can often integrate with continuous integration systems for automated regression validation.
- It can range from being a Shallow Recording to being a Deep Recording, depending on its state capture depth.
- It can range from being a Synchronous Replay to being an Accelerated Replay, depending on its execution speed.
- It can range from being a Exact Replay to being a Fuzzy Replay, depending on its tolerance level.
- It can range from being a Single-Session Replay to being a Multi-Session Replay, depending on its scope coverage.

- Examples:
- LLM Agent Recording Techniques, such as:
- Conversation History Recording capturing prompt-response pairs with context states.
- Tool Call Recording preserving function invocations and return values.
- Multi-Agent Recording Techniques, such as:
- RAG System Recording Techniques, such as:
- Retrieval Trace Recording storing querys, retrieved documents, and ranking scores.
- ...
- LLM Agent Recording Techniques, such as:
- Counter-Examples:
- Live Testing Technique, which executes in real-time without replay capability.
- Synthetic Test Generation, which creates artificial scenarios rather than recording actual executions.
- Snapshot Testing, which captures state at single points rather than full trajectorys.
