The technology described herein provides an automated software-testing platform that functions in an undefined action space. The technology described herein starts with an undefined action space but begins to learn about the action space through random exploration. Both the action taken during testing and the resulting state may be communicated to a centralized testing service. The technology described herein also mines the action telemetry data and state telemetry data to identify action patterns that produce a sought after result. Once a plurality of action patterns is identified and, at least, a partial model of the action space is built, the testing on the test machines may be split into random test mode, replay test mode, and a pioneering test mode.
