AI-Powered Test Maintenance: Solving the Test Automation Bottleneck

Test automation is a powerful tool for improving testing efficiency and accuracy but can create a bottleneck due to the need for frequent test maintenance, especially when applications undergo significant updates between releases. AI-Powered Test Maintenance helps streamline automated testing efforts by incorporating self-healing technology that automatically attempts to locate objects within code when changes occur, reducing the time needed for script maintenance and repair. Key benefits of using self-healing technology include reduced test maintenance, improved test script reliability over time, and less testing delays within a sprint due to test maintenance. To effectively manage automated test maintenance, teams should establish a well-defined testing strategy, prioritize high-risk test suites, maintain an isolated test environment, and regularly review and retire outdated test scripts.
