The Self-Healing Scenario

In this demonstration, we intentionally break an existing functional ATS test, then let Claude repair it interactively using the Agilitest REPL. The scenario is: ‍ Introduce a defect in the ATS script (wrong selectors / obsolete steps / wrong digit) ‍ Run the test and observe the failure Use the REPL to explore the UI and locate the correct elements Remove obsolete steps and fix incorrect actions Re-run the scenario to confirm functional correctness Save the corrected ATS script Execute the final test in standard ATS mode (no AI required) ‍ Key point: ✅ Claude performs diagnosis and repair ✅ The final output is a pure functional ATS script ✅ The corrected test runs normally in CI/CD without Claude or any AI runtime ‍ AI fixes the script ATS guarantees its execution The user has a diff feedback on his test

Step 1 — Creating a Controlled Failure

We deliberately introduce errors inside an existing ATS script (obsolete selectors, wrong steps, or incorrect input). This simulates real-life test drift after UI changes. The goal is not to regenerate everything — it’s to repair an existing automation asset.

Step 2 — Launching Claude for Repair

Claude is asked to repair the failing script using the Agilitest REPL. Instead of blindly rewriting code, it starts by reading the existing ATS file and preparing to debug it interactively.

Step 3 — Spotting Suspect Steps and running the Test

Claude scans the ATS script, identifies suspicious actions (obsolete IDs, unexpected clicks, weird keyboard steps), then launches the REPL to reproduce the failure. This is the beginning of controlled self-healing: • reproduce • isolate • verify • fix • validate

Step 4 — Identifying the Root Cause in Real Time

The test fails on a specific step (element not found, wrong selector, unexpected value). ‍ Claude uses REPL exploration commands (find / structured output) to locate the correct element and confirm why the previous selector is invalid. This prevents “hallucinated locators” and keeps the fix grounded in the real UI.

Step 5 — Functional Verification After Fixes

Claude applies repairs (delete obsolete actions, correct wrong input, adjust steps), then re-runs the scenario to confirm the expected functional behavior. The objective is not just “no error” — it is functional correctness (the test validates real expected results).

Step 6 — Saving and Validating Script Integrity (No AI Needed)

Once the test passes interactively, Claude saves the updated file. ‍ Then the script is executed in standard ATS mode to confirm: • the test is stable • the test is deterministic • the test runs as a normal automation asset At this point, AI is no longer required. The output is pure ATS.

Step 7 — Summary of Corrections

Claude summarizes the changes (removed obsolete actions, corrected wrong digit, fixed broken selector). ‍ This makes the repair auditable and easy to review. The final artifact remains: • readable by humans • versionable in Git (only impacted lines modified) • reproducible in CI/CD • executable without any AI component

What This Demonstrates

This demo highlights a key difference between “AI-generated automation” and “AI-assisted, enterprise automation”: AI assists repair — ATS guarantees execution. Claude accelerates self-healing by: • reproducing failures quickly • exploring the UI via the REPL • finding the right element with structured feedback • correcting only what is necessary • validating functionally before saving But the outcome is not “AI code” : The outcome is a functional ATS script : • independent from Claude • independent from any AI runtime • replayable in batch execution and CI/CD • maintainable by test engineers Self-healing becomes: • controlled • auditable • deterministic • scalable
