Yes, there are at several kinds of "self healing" capability in eValid.
One is the
Adaptive Playback feature, which rescues scripts from FAILure when trivial changes occur and the correct (meaningful) equivalent action can be identified with eValid's internal correction algorithms.
Another is the fact that most test playback activity is fully automatic in terms of page loading synchronization. When it isn't -- as is often the case with AJAX applications -- there are simple recording protocols that guarantee full playback synchronization.
With some extra work, usually by manually modifying a recording made from the actual application, a script can be made invulnerable to all but the most far-reaching changes in the web application. Usually only one or two recorded commands need to be converted to "structural mode" or "geometric mode" DOM manipulations to make this happen.
