Understand the failure
Classify locator, timeout, assertion, and flow failures before choosing a repair strategy.
Self-healing tests
Let tests adapt without letting real bugs disappear
QualityMax analyzes failed Playwright runs, separates common selector breakage from deeper failures, and creates targeted repair proposals pending review—with evidence and history your team can inspect.
Maintenance with guardrails
Recover from harmless UI change. Stay loud when behavior is wrong.
Use the lightest fix
Retry semantically, recover a stable locator, or escalate to a broader suggestion only when needed.
Keep teams in control
Retain healing history, keep every suggestion pending review, and apply approved repairs through an authenticated action.
A practical example
The button moved. The customer journey did not.
Failure: Checkout still works, but a brittle selector no longer finds “Place order.”
Read trace and error→Find semantic match→Review proposal→Apply and re-run
- page.locator('#checkout-submit')
+ page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Place order' })
status: pending_review · evidence: trace + DOM matchCollect evidence
Use the actual error, DOM context, screenshots, and execution artifacts.
Select the tier
Prefer deterministic recovery before escalating to AI-assisted repair.
Verify the outcome
Review and apply the repair, then run the test again so a code change never substitutes for proof.
A complete loop
Healing belongs beside generation, execution, and release gates
QualityMax keeps the full Playwright lifecycle connected. Generate from observed behavior, run with artifacts, heal failures, and use the verified result in CI—without assembling a maintenance toolchain around the test framework.
- Semantic retry and locator repair tiers
- AI suggestions for harder failures
- Execution evidence before and after repair
- Local, cloud, and CI workflows
Spend less time nursing selectors.
Keep your test suite useful as the product changes.
