Make Selenium Smarter with GenAI 🤖 | Self-Healing Locators & AI-Powered Testing!
AI Summary
Summary of AI QA Engineer Session 2
Introduction
- The session focuses on making Selenium or Playwright tests more intelligent.
- Last session overview: Discussed LangChain, DEEPEVAL, and evaluating LLMs.
Current Problems with UI Automation Testing Tools
- Locator Challenges:
- Fragile UI locators: Locators change frequently, causing test failures.
- Hard to maintain: Constant updates needed when application UIs change.
- Identifying different locator types: Issues with handling shadow DOMs and pop-ups.
Proposed Solution
- [Self-Healing Mechanism]: Utilizing AI tools to autonomously manage locators and adapt to UI changes.
- Demo of self-healing locator using AI to query current UI structure rather than relying solely on hardcoded values.
Tools & Techniques for AI Integration
- Usage of chatbots (like ChatGPT) and other AI tools helps in identifying and suggesting locators dynamically.
- Importance of using web-scraping tools and adapting AI capabilities to improve test automation efficiency.
Code Example
- Provided a simple Selenium Java code structure to illustrate the integration of AI for dynamic locator handling.
- Example shows how to interact with the application using AI to identify UI components based on user-friendly labels (e.g., “username”, “password”).
Conclusion
- Encouraged attendees to keep learning about AI advancements and their applications in software testing.
- Offered specialized courses for deeper insights into using AI in automation testing.
