The Self Healing feature is useful when the web pages, on which the test case is recorded, keep changing and so their locators are. If the Self Healing Mode is enabled, QAS does its best to automatically replace locators to run the test successfully. Even if the test fails, QAS gives the user an opportunity to select a suitable locator on the web browser and add it to the script directly. The test will run again automatically from where it failed which will make the test case "Pass".
The Self healing feature covers the following use cases:
  • During execution, if a test step locator is failed to be detected by its default locator value, the other locator strategies in the list will be automatically applied without any manual intervention from the tester. The execution will continue as if no failures has happened.
  • During execution, if a test step locator is failed and can't be auto detected using any of the other locator strategies, QAS will pause the execution, allow user to select the relevant element and continue the execution. The new locator strategy will be auto updated for the next execution.  

...

When the test is executed with Self Healing Mode, it will heal the broken elements, replace those elements with new locators and cause the test to pass.

Once you execute the test in Self Healing mode, you can view the logs under the Self-healing Insights. All the replacements of locators taken place during test case execution in Self Healing mode are recorded under Self-healing Insights once the execution is complete.
