Use Case for Auto-Healing

Let’s say we are testing a login page for https://www.facebook.com/.

Here are the steps to produce:

• Navigate to https://www.facebook.com/.
• Enter demo@example.com in the Email address or phone number field.
• Enter demopassword in the Password Input field.
• Click on Log in Button.

Consider that the XPATH for the Email address or phone number button on step 2 changed from input[“email”] to input[id=“email”].

On executing the test case with the Auto-Healing feature enabled, the test lab will successfully locate the element with the new XPATH.
