## Keep releases moving when the UI changes

Protect the intent of your tests through routine interface changes while keeping every adaptation visible for review.

## What this changes for your workflow

A small UI change should not create a repair sprint. When the intended interaction fails, Mechasm reevaluates the live interface, adapts when it can, and records what changed so your team can keep moving without losing oversight.

## Move from testing friction to release confidence

Step 1

### Preserve the intent

Keep the expected user outcome central instead of tying the test to one fragile selector.

Step 2

### Adapt to routine change

Let the agent absorb minor interface updates instead of turning each one into manual repair work.

Step 3

### Review what changed

When a test heals itself, the change is surfaced in reporting so teams can review what adapted and why.

## Recover from routine UI change

The system reevaluates the rendered interface when the primary interaction path fails, helping tests recover from routine UI change.

### Dynamic adaptation

The agent re-evaluates page structure and accessibility cues before retrying the action.

### Reduced maintenance tax

Engineers spend less time pausing feature work just to repair brittle automation.

### Stable CI confidence

Healing reduces noise from minor UI changes so teams can trust their pipeline output more consistently.

## Keep confidence without hiding the evidence

Self-healing works best when teams can inspect what the agent changed and track where fragility still exists.

### Trace debugging

Inspect action timelines, DOM snapshots, and console logs to understand why the agent adapted.

### Video history

Review recorded runs to confirm the healed interaction matched the intended user journey.

### Analytics signals

Track pass rates, execution health, and maintenance patterns across projects to spot fragile areas early.

## Prove it on your own workflow

Start free, use one real user journey, and decide from evidence generated against your application.

1.  **Describe a real journey**Write the acceptance path in plain language.
2.  **Run it on your application**Use the same environment and interactions your users depend on.
3.  **Review the evidence**Inspect the run, decide what to keep, and export when you want code ownership.
