This innovative feature addresses the critical issue of locator failures, enhancing the reliability of automation testing and improving CI/CD stability.
LambdaTest introduces AI-Native Smart Heal to combat locator failures.
AI/ML-powered mechanism automatically detects and recovers from UI changes.
Reduces flaky test failures and minimizes manual script maintenance.
Provides transparent logs and actionable suggestions via LambdaTest dashboard.
Currently in closed beta, with early access available upon request.
Supports major frameworks like Selenium, Appium, and Playwright.
Locator failures, a common cause of brittle automation scripts, lead to frequent test breaks and increased maintenance costs. LambdaTest’s Smart Heal uses AI/ML algorithms to detect UI changes and recover from locator issues during test execution. By capturing a baseline of successful tests, the system identifies the closest valid match for missing elements, ensuring uninterrupted execution. “Enterprises today demand speed and resilience in their testing pipelines,” said Mayank Bhola, Co-Founder and Head of Product at LambdaTest. “Smart Heal directly addresses the long-standing issue of test fragility by making automation more adaptive and reliable.”
Smart Heal enhances CI/CD reliability by reducing flaky build failures, minimizes manual script maintenance in dynamic UI environments, and provides detailed audit trails for debugging. If a locator cannot be healed, the AI offers actionable suggestions to strengthen scripts, with all actions logged transparently in the LambdaTest dashboard. This capability supports major testing frameworks like Selenium, Appium, and Playwright, making it versatile for diverse testing needs.
The introduction of Smart Heal reinforces LambdaTest’s commitment to accelerating release cycles with precision. By integrating AI-driven automation into the software development lifecycle, it empowers teams to focus on innovation while maintaining robust testing pipelines. Currently in closed beta, organizations can request early access to explore its benefits.
