What is Self-Healing Test Automation?
Self-Healing Test Automation is the prominent feature in automation tools that has the ability to adapt to necessary changes or updates in the web elements. This key feature ultimately prevents the failure of existing test scripts and safeguards the development process. Web element locators such as Name, ID, Xpath, and other CSS elements are updated or changed, and the testing framework has a self-healing web feature that detects the changes and adapts to new attribute changes.
An organization that follows the agile development methodology, the testing tool which has this mechanism helps to overcome the issue that arises when there are changes in the product development.
Understand of Self-Healing Mechanism
In the software development lifecycle, product upgrades are inevitable. For example, consider the test script is targeting a button that has a specific ID. If there is a change in the button’s targeted action or developers want to rename it, the existing test case fails. Here, the self-healing mechanism works. It automatically identifies the button using other locators, updates the script, and keeps your development process healthy.
Importance of Self-Healing Mechanism
There is a major and significant importance that a software development organization must leverage this mechanism,
Automatic Detects: Making changes in the selenium scripts is inevitable in the agile development process. The self-healing mechanism seamlessly adapts to the changes and safeguards your test suite. With advanced cutting-edge technology, even the self-healing mechanism adopts changes in the functionality of the application.
Minimized Maintenance: If there are consistent changes in product development, it is challenging for testers to maintain the test scripts. It requires manual intervention to identify the changes and update them on the script. It takes time, effort, and delay in production release. The self-healing mechanism potentially reduces these drawbacks and saves resources and time efficiently.
Test Robustness: Organizations that adopt robustness in the testing process will do the quality-assured releases. The robustness of the testing process ensures the quality of the application and discovers the issues early. Even with the dynamic elements the self-healing mechanism assists the testers to deliver assured results.
TestWheel’s self-healing web is equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, which automatically identify the issues while executing the testing process. No matter if you rerun the testing process for script updates, changes in locator elements, or any user interface modifications. Our self-healing web feature ensures that your software is operated seamlessly as intended.
The integration of the Self-Healing feature with our cloud-based testing platform adopted with changes in test scripts automatically, ensures your test cases are up-to-date and synchronized across all devices. Our self-healing feature empowers data-driven capabilities regulates the test data input and provides results based on the detected changes. As a result, minimize the effort and time of testing teams.
Quality Assurance
Ensure the continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines with TestWheel and Self-Healing mechanism. Stable and accurate test runs, this powerful combination significantly reduces incorrect results. With TestWheel‘s self-healing capabilities organization ensures a robust testing automation platform, and testing becomes smoother and more efficient. Say goodbye to test maintenance headaches and subpar software. This dynamic duo is transforming the testing landscape, delivering top-tier solutions for global businesses.
