Compatibility with Test Automation Frameworks
Healenium is a versatile visual testing and self-healing framework that can be seamlessly integrated with several popular test automation frameworks, enhancing your ability to create robust and reliable automated tests. In this section, we'll explore how Healenium can be used in conjunction with the following frameworks:
Serenity
Serenity is a popular open-source library for writing high-quality, maintainable acceptance criteria tests. Healenium can be seamlessly integrated into Serenity-based projects, enabling automatic healing of your UI tests. To start using Healenium with WebdriverIO, follow the guidance:
- Install Healenium-Proxy with or without using Docker.
- Configure a Remote Web Driver to connect to Healenium with URL http://<hlm-proxy-host>:<hlm-proxy-port>. In the case of a local launch: http://localhost:8085
webdriver {
driver = remote
remote {
url="http://localhost:8085"
driver=chrome
}
}
3. Execute the tests.
Robot Framework
Robot Framework is an open-source automation framework that provides an easy-to-read tabular syntax. By combining Robot Framework with Healenium, you can create maintainable and self-healing test suites. To use Healenium with Robot Framework, follow the guidance:
- Install Healenium-Proxy with or without using Docker.
- Configure a Remote Web Driver to connect to Healenium with URL http://<hlm-proxy-host>:<hlm-proxy-port>. In the case of a local launch: http://localhost:8085
Open Remote Chrome Browser
Open Browser ${PAGE_URL} ${BROWSER} remote_url=http://localhost:8085
3. Execute the tests.
Robot Framework always uses multiple element search (findElements). Since Healenium disables healing for multiple element searches (findElements) by default, you need to manually navigate to the /selectors page and enable healing for the elements you need. In the next version, we will introduce a feature to enable healing for multiple element searches (findElements) by default through configuration settings.

WebdriverIO
WebdriverIO is a leading JavaScript test automation framework that provides an easy-to-use API for automating web applications. When combined with Healenium, WebdriverIO tests become more resilient and capable of self-healing. To start using Healenium with WebdriverIO, follow the guidance:
- Install Healenium-Proxy with or without using Docker.
- Configure a Remote Web Driver to connect to Healenium with URL http://<hlm-proxy-host>:<hlm-proxy-port>. In the case of a local launch: http://127.0.0.1:8085
services: [],
// host/port/protocol your hlm-proxy service
hostname: '127.0.0.1',
port: 8085,
protocol: 'http'
3. Execute the tests.

Cucumber BDD
Cucumber is a widely-used behavior-driven development (BDD) framework that allows you to write tests in plain language. Integrating Healenium with Cucumber can enhance your BDD tests by adding self-healing capabilities to them. To get started with Healenium and Cucumber, follow the steps:
- Install Healenium-Proxy with or without using Docker.
- Configure a Remote Web Driver to connect to Healenium with URL http://<hlm-proxy-host>:<hlm-proxy-port>. In the case of a local launch: http://localhost:8085
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:8085"), options);
3. Execute the tests.
