the flaky test now fixes itself. checksum's continuous quality platform runs ai agents end-to-end and resolves 70% of test failures automatically through real-time auto-recovery.
the test engineer's job became reviewing the repair.
Context
Checksum's press release of 27 May 2026 quotes its CEO saying 70 percent of test failures resolve without an engineer touching them, says the agent runs nightly against deployed applications and heals broken tests automatically, was fine-tuned on more than 1.5 million test runs, and commits Playwright tests as pull requests. Its platform page describes testing, healing and validating automatically alongside CI/CD.
The 70 percent is a vendor CEO quote with no sample, definition of failure or time window found, and it is not independent. The text says resolve without an engineer touching them and not that every failure fixes itself. Real-time is not in the text read, and nightly runs sit awkwardly with it. The release is dated 27 May, and no restatement in September was found. The customer quote in the release is a testimonial, not a measurement.
