Self-healing test automation reduces maintenance by fixing broken selectors automatically, but it only addresses structural brittleness. The deeper problem is behavioral brittleness — tests that pass even when the user experience regresses. The solution is combining self-healing with intent-based testing: evaluating whether the system achieves its intended outcome rather than whether a script executed. This matters especially as AI-driven components introduce non-deterministic outputs. A truly stable test suite is one where results are meaningful, not just green.
