How do you reduce test automation maintenance?

This week’s article, “Creating self-healing automated tests with AI and Playwright” by @sshray, details how combining AI language models with Playwright can significantly reduce the time spent on test automation maintenance.

What You’ll Learn:

:robot: AI-powered test automation: Discover how AI language models like Groq, Llama, and Mistral assist in generating self-healing test scripts, reducing manual intervention and maintenance.

:hammer_and_wrench: Self-healing tests: Learn how the integration of AI can fix failing tests automatically by adjusting to changes in the application, minimizing the need for constant test updates.

:zap: Optimising efficiency: Explore how this setup can improve efficiency by automating error detection, code suggestions, and script updates.

Isn’t using an AI losing control of what you’re testing, how, and why?
How is the risk managed when giving AI the power over a good piece of automation code?
Is the AI responsible for the automation or the tester?
Using the self-healed code, is the automation engineer experienced enough in those software development concepts to manage that going further?

The author seems to create an equivalence between testing = automated checks = AI (which can repair my crappy automation)
