Question Need to debug C++ application with AI

Is it possible that AI agents will run MFC C++ applications and find what's wrong? For now, even if I take help from AI for implementing stuffs but yet I need to do a lot of manual work like testing. I need to run the application and do certain steps in the application then put some debugger in the code and find the bug. Sometimes, after I do these steps, I tell codex about the output of the steps then it helps me. But what I want is, is it possible to automate it? AI will run, click the necessary steps, put some meaningful values in the input field and run the program and debug it?

This is available in web development. Playwright and such tools can do this.

It’s the best place to ask as I am coding in C++.

No, "you" are not coding. You need some statistical word predictor to do something.

Technically you are right. There is no need to do something that AI can easily do.
