AI-Enabled Auto-Healing for Mobile Applications

Testsigma’s AI-Enabled auto-healing automatically detects and fixes broken element locators caused by UI changes during mobile test execution. This article discusses how auto-healing identifies and updates element locators while executing mobile test cases.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have referred to:

1. Documentation on enabling the auto-healing feature.
2. Documentation on managing test cases.
3. Documentation on creating elements.

Use Case for Auto-Healing

Let’s say we are testing a login page for https://simply-travel.testsigma.com/.

Here are the steps to produce:

• Launch App.
• Tap on Login.
• Enter demo@gmail.com in the Enter email address field.
• Enter Demo@123 in the Enter password field.
• Tap on Continue.

Consider that the XPath for the Enter email address button on step 3 changed from emai to //android.widget'.EditText[@resource-id="email"].

When executing the test case with the Auto Healing feature enabled, the test lab will successfully locate the element using the new XPath.

Auto-Healing Insights

Once the test execution is complete, please refer to the documentation on Auto-Healing Insights to view the auto-healing results and learn how to update the element locator.
