Hi everyone
We currently use WebdriverIO for our web testing, but we’re actively considering a migration to Playwright. One concept that caught our attention is self-healing test automation — tools or frameworks that can automatically update or adapt locators when the UI changes.
We’re curious to know:
- Have you implemented self-healing in your test automation setup?
- What tools or plugins have you used (especially with WebdriverIO or Playwright)?
- Did it help reduce flaky tests or just add more complexity?
- In your experience, is it worth integrating, or is strong locator strategy and test design enough?
We’d really appreciate hearing your real-world experiences — good, bad, or surprising. Any recommendations (or warnings) would help us make an informed decision as we evaluate our next steps.
Thanks in advance!
