How Worksoft’s New Self-Healing Capability Makes Test Automation Smarter and More Reliable
In fast-changing enterprise environments, even small UI changes can disrupt test automation causing avoidable failures, wasting time on triage, and undermining trust in your test suite.
That’s why we’ve added AI-powered self-healing to the Worksoft Connective Automation Platform 14.5. This new capability is designed to increase automation resiliency by adapting test execution in real time without compromising governance or control.
What Is Self-Healing and Why Does It Matter?
Traditional test automation is brittle. When a label changes, a button moves, or the DOM is restructured, your test fails—even if the business process remains the same.
Worksoft’s self-healing changes that. Using AI and internal heuristics the platform can identify visual cues and structural or data anchors that allow tests to automatically adjust to UI changes without breaking.
Common issues that self-healing helps you overcome:
- Button or field relabeling
- Dynamic load order or content shifts
- Minor UI updates in SaaS platforms
The result? Fewer false positives. Smoother test runs. Greater confidence at scale.
Built for Confidence at Scale
With self-healing, automation adapts, but it doesn’t go rogue.
We’ve designed this feature with a governed, human-in-the-loop model:
- Changes apply only for the current test run
- Test owners are alerted to changes made
- Permanent updates require human review and approval
This ensures automation remains trustworthy, even as it becomes smarter.
The Big Picture: AI That Works with You
Self-healing is part of our broader vision to bring more intelligence into test automation without sacrificing control or transparency. It’s built to help teams move faster, reduce noise, and focus on what matters most: real defects, not brittle scripts.
If you’re ready to spend less time fixing broken scripts and more time delivering value, it’s time to put self-healing to work.
We’d love to hear how it’s performing in your environment and what you’d like to see next.
