WASHINGTON, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Inflectra, a leading provider of software testing and quality assurance solutions, today announced the release of Rapise 9.0, introducing breakthrough AI-powered self-healing capabilities fundamentally transforming how organizations maintain and execute web test automation.

Rapise 9.0 introduces SmartActions, a revolutionary self-healing layer combining object descriptions with action intent expressed in natural language. When UI changes cause traditional locators to fail, SmartActions leverages AI-based visual recognition to automatically identify and interact with the correct elements—without manual intervention.

"Web test automation has long been plagued by brittle locators that break with every UI update," said Adam Sandman, CEO of Inflectra. "SmartActions changes the game by embedding intelligence directly into test actions. Tests now understand what they're looking for and why, enabling them to adapt automatically when applications evolve."

The technology operates through a multi-level recovery process:

Standard object lookup using the existing repositoryAI-based recovery using visual and contextual analysisDeep inspection with intelligent resolution (proceed, wait, skip, or fail)When SmartActions successfully recovers an object, it generates patch files that can update the object repository, ensuring future test runs benefit from the healing without repeated AI intervention.

Rapise 9.0 extends the power of Inflectra.ai directly into test execution through the new AiTester global object. Test automation engineers can now send text-based and image-augmented queries to Inflectra.ai during playback, enabling:

Advanced visual validation to detect layout shifts, missing elements, and design inconsistenciesIntelligent analysis that combines the precision of automation with human-like observational skillsReal-time AI-powered decision making within automated test flowsRapise 9.0 also delivers significant platform improvements:

Upgraded to Selenium 4.40 and Appium 8.0.1 for latest browser and mobile compatibilityNode.js 22.22 runtime for improved performanceEnhanced Google Gemini support with gemini-embedding-001 modelImproved alert/prompt/confirm recording via CDP eventsJUnit XML report generation from RapiseLauncherSupport for .env files to configure AI server environment variablesRapise 9.0 is available immediately for new and existing customers.
