Enhancing Appium Tests' Stability with the Power of Healenium
summary
Open-source Healenium sits between tests and Appium as a proxy and backend that injects corrected locators, demonstrated by Docker-compose of Healenium proxy + backend + selector‑imitator + Postgres; a demo changes the menu label from "Login" to "Sign in" and both tests still pass. It requires one successful run to record selectors, adds milliseconds to ~1s when healing, exposes healed locators to an IntelliJ plugin, supports parallel CI runs, and lets specific elements opt out of healing.
