17. Testing Automation with AI

AI makes testing faster, more reliable, and less brittle. Auto-healing tests adapt to UI changes.

(Plot Twist: Tests that fix themselves when your UI changes? Your QA team is either thrilled or worried about job security. Probably both. 🤖)

AI Testing Capabilities

  • Test Generation: AI creates unit/integration tests from code
  • Auto-Healing: Tests adapt when selectors change (Mabl, Testim)
  • Visual Testing: AI ignores insignificant rendering diffs (Applitools)
  • Test Maintenance: AI suggests test refactors

Best Use Cases

  • E2E tests that break on every UI change → auto-heal them
  • Visual regression for pixel-perfect UIs
  • Unit test scaffolding with Copilot/ChatGPT
