One of the critical reasons for software release delays is the time consumed in maintaining the failed test cases and inability of current testing system to self heal the test automation. Test automation is proving ineffective and outdated (Automation is always out of date) due to the time and cost involved in maintaining these failed test cases. As per Webomates’ study, the cost of software test automation is only 20% in the setup phase, and the cost of maintenance of the software test automation is 80% of the overall cost.
The broken test cases and scripts disrupt the software release cycle, and analyzing the root cause of broken test scripts is even more time-consuming. According to a study by IBM, searching, managing, maintaining, and generating test data encompass 30%-60% of the tester’s time. AiHealing bridges the gap as it not only identifies the changes in the test cases and automation scripts but also adapts them in real time. AiHealing is playing a vital role in faster software release.
AiHealing is Webomates’ patented technology that efficiently reduces the time and cost of maintaining failed test cases. AiHealing is a 3-step process depicted in the figure below:
The AI system analyzes the pass/fail report and other execution data and identifies false failures. AI system takes two category inputs:
Once the AI Analyzer detects the required changes, it moves to the next step of identifying the Root Cause for the failure of Automation Scripts.
Script Change: From a process perspective, the AI system analyzes the pass/fail report and other execution data and identifies false failures. Then it recognizes issues such as application changes, features added, and newly added test cases and does a root causes analysis. The issues could be due to locator changes, script errors, timeout errors, and feature changes. These items alone cause 60% of the false positives. Our AI system not only identifies test data changes but also end-to-end flow changes. Additionally, we have release notes/user stories that help identify the test cases that need healing. After our AI Defect predictor recognizes the root cause, it proposes the next course of action, i.e. healing the test case.
The typical reason for script changes can be:
Modified Features: In this case, Webomates’ AI system analyzes both the Automation Execution data and the Release notes or user stories and identifies the impacted test cases. The identified test cases need to be updated to reflect the changes.
New Test Case review by customer: In this scenario, where detected test cases and scripts need to be changed, we send them to be reviewed by the customer. Once we get approval from the customer, the AI test package analyzer generates new Test Cases and Scripts.
Adaptability & Scalability: AiHealing technology not only detects false positives in real-time but automatically heals these false positives due to its high adaptability traits.
Saves Time: Root cause analysis becomes time-consuming and complex when done manually or using the Test Automation framework. Our advanced AiHealing technology detects false positives and automatically heals them in real-time. Due to the quick adaption and accurate, valuable insights in real-time with AiHealing, 92% of the test cases get approved, only 6% need Modification, and merely 2% get rejected results saving a tremendous amount of time.
100% Test Success: Aesthetic/design changes are treated as actual test failures in manual and test automation frameworks. AiHealing is equipped to generate automated pass/fail reports with accurate results. Hence the major roadblock to faster testing, like false Failed tests and flaky test cases, are smartly removed by AiHealing; it automatically heals the false positive and re-runs the test cases until it gets 100% test results with no false positives.
Up-to-date Automation Scripts: Maintaining the test suites is a tough and time-consuming task. Due to this drawback, the Automation process loses its effectiveness. AiHealing Technology automatically modifies the test automation script to fix the problem, making it easier.
The following table will help you in understanding how AiHealing has an advantage over traditional test automation.
AiHealing enhanced test Automation is a clear winner at all three levels; Creation, execution, and analysis of test automation:
Test Cases/Script Creation: Webomates’ AI engine allows us to generate 2000 test cases & test automation scripts in just 4 weeks compared to traditional test Automation, which takes about 9-10 months to perform the same task.
Execution: Execution time with advanced AiHealing technology is reduced to hours compared to Traditional test Automation, which takes weeks. Webomates CQ provides guaranteed execution within 24 hours or 8 hours, depending upon the requirement along with the Ai Healed false positives. In addition, customers will not have to spend time and money on infrastructure as we already have AWS backing.
Analysis: Our AI analysis tool generates a pass/fail report of the test cases where Aihealing auto-heals the false positives in real-time. It also generates a 20-second video of defects, making it easier for the customer to address them effectively. This trait is entirely missing in Traditional automation models, resulting in software testing delays.
As per the IBM survey, 35% tester’s time is consumed in performing unplanned non-testing activities like ad-hoc requests, defect triage, and testing audits.
Webomates’ sophisticated Technology not only identifies and self-heals the false positive test cases, but we altogether remove these roadblocks; No fixed Time and Inadequate results, using our one-of-a-kind Patented AiHealing Test Automation.
We are committed to providing you faster, guaranteed results in 24 or 8 hours with contract-guaranteed SLA (Service Level Agreements).
Our patented AiHealing Test Automation promises to give 100% results of the evaluated quality test cases with no false positives. So no more setting up and modifying software release timelines back and forth. Partner with us for a stress-free software release experience.
