Pcloudy just launched an Optimized Self-Healing AI Engine 2.0

We’ve been working hard on making the testing experience a breeze. And we believe we cracked Houdini’s secret with our new Self-Healing 2.0 AI engine. Focusing on three core themes: Perfection, Ease of Use, and Speed, we have optimized our Self-Healing AI Engine so much that Houdini himself will be in awe of how we managed to pull this off.

The Problem

The words “fragile” and “test automation scripts” are like the cat and mouse of most automation teams. When a script breaks due to changing object properties, testers run pillar to post and get into the manual maintenance mode spending nearly 15 minutes to fix a single occurrence. This is a significant pain point for most teams that test often, face. Every time an object’s property changes, the automation engineer must halt the development of new scripts to troubleshoot and fix the broken one. This entire process involves manually inspecting or spying on the object to identify the new property value or find new properties to use, which is quite frustrating when you have a release just around the corner.

What’s more? The numbers are quite daunting when we consider various scenarios. Imagine a scenario where one application deployment per week encountering around 35 such object changes, this maintenance can consume over one person’s full workday each week—8.75 hours—just on basic automation maintenance.

Now imagine that resolving these object properties was a bit more complicated for complex cases and it took 2X or 3X longer than usual. Now, that’s 3 days of tedious work – a halt to newer developments and releases. This not only hampers productivity but also delays the entire workflow process and hampers revenues of demanding clients who want a certain feature at the earliest and it delayed because of the deployment.

Pcloudy Self-Healing AI Engine 2.0

Keeping in mind these complications and the constantly evolving problems of the testing world, we have optimized and revamped our Self-Healing AI engine to maintain your scripts on your behalf, saving precious productive hours of your testers and business revenues. Our focus with the new Self-Healing AI engine was to ensure perfection in identifying the flaws, speed in deploying the fixes, and ease in enabling the AI engine. Here’s a breakdown of how we achieved this.

Optimized to Perfect

Think of Self-Healing 2.0 as your personal quality assurance expert who never sleeps. Like an elite consultant on your team who constantly reviews and improves your processes. This consultant doesn’t just wait for problems to arise; they anticipate issues and correct them in real time.

Similarly, Self-Healing 2.0 meticulously monitors your automation scripts, identifying and rectifying errors as they occur. This means we’re not just fixing bugs; we’re preventing them from becoming a problem in the first place. The system learns from each interaction, continually improving and refining itself. This level of optimization ensures that our automation scripts are always running at their best, reducing downtime and enhancing the overall quality of your releases. By achieving this perfection, we can assure our stakeholders of a consistently reliable and high-performing product.

Optimized to Ease Effort

Maintenance of automation scripts is like managing a constantly changing inventory in a large warehouse. If we had to manually track and change the label on every single item whenever there’s a change, it would be an overwhelming task. However, what if we had an intelligent system that could automatically detect changes in stock and adjust the inventory records accordingly thanks to digital displays? This is precisely what Self-Healing 2.0 does for your automation scripts.

It simplifies the maintenance process by automatically detecting changes in the application and adjusting the scripts accordingly. Our development team no longer needs to spend countless hours updating scripts for minor changes in the UI or functionality. This reduction in manual effort not only frees you to focus on more strategic tasks but also reduces the risk of human error during script updates.

Optimized for Speed

Self-Healing 2.0 is more like your high-speed train that gets you from Point A to Point B faster than any other mode of transportation. In the business world, speed is of the essence and the Self-Healing 2.0 AI Engine dramatically accelerates the automation process. By automatically updating and correcting scripts in real-time, it eliminates the bottlenecks associated with manual maintenance. Our development cycles become shorter, and our time-to-market is significantly reduced. This rapid turnaround is crucial for staying competitive, allowing us to respond swiftly to market demands and customer feedback. Furthermore, Self-Healing 2.0 enables your teams to quickly adapt changes and ensures that your automation framework is always up to date and running smoothly.

Conclusion

As business leaders, we understand the importance of efficiency, reliability, and speed in maintaining a competitive edge. Pcloudy’s Self-Healing 2.0 AI Engine addresses these critical areas, offering a solution that not only perfects your automation scripts but also makes the maintenance process effortless and rapid. By integrating this technology with your workflow, we empower your development team to deliver high-quality updates and releases faster and more efficiently than ever before.

With Self-Healing 2.0, we’re not just optimizing our automation; we’re revolutionizing it. Enable the Pcloudy’s Self-Healing 2.0 AI Engine and accelerate your transformation to take your businesses to new heights of growth.
