For this to work, the technology must learn how to understand user interfaces in the same way that a human can. For example, it needs to know that a drop-down is a drop-down just by ‘looking’ at it. With that accomplished, you — well, any human, really — can define test automation by simply providing a natural language explanation of what business process should be tested (e.g., 'Enter 10,000 in the list price input, click the confirm button, then … '). AI-driven test automation can take it from there. There’s no need to deal with shadow DOMs, web assemblies, and the like. Emulated tables on SAP can be automated without any special customization. It’s not going to fail the next time there’s a minor UI tweak, and you won’t have to rebuild your tests if the application is reimplemented in new technology.
