What Actually Breaks in Web Automation and How AI Fixes It

Reliable QA testing benchmarks based on 1M+ real production runs across hundreds of customer applications.

Most web agent benchmarks say AI isn’t ready for production. Real companies tell a very different story.

This report explains why current benchmarks measure the wrong things and what real reliability looks like in QA testing and web automation.

What Actually Breaks in Web Automation and How AI Fixes It

Reliable QA testing benchmarks based on 1M+ real production runs across hundreds of customer applications.

Most web agent benchmarks say AI isn’t ready for production. Real companies tell a very different story.

This report explains why current benchmarks measure the wrong things and what real reliability looks like in QA testing and web automation.

Why Web Agent Benchmarks Are

Misleading

Public benchmarks focus on one-shot task completion and raw model accuracy.

But production automation isn’t about whether something works once. It’s about whether it keeps working over weeks and months.

In real systems:

Workflows span dozens of steps

UI changes constantly

Failures must be detected, diagnosed,

and repaired

Deterministic code remains the

source of truth

Reliability is not about whether an agent succeeds once. It's about whether a workflow stays operational over weeks and months or as long as the web page and platform exists!

What Actually
Breaks in Production

We analyzed over one million end-to-end automation runs across hundreds of production web applications.

1M+

real production runs

Failures are surprisingly predictable:

32%

selector changes

27%

flow changes

22%

environment instability

19%

loading
and timing issues

Most failures happen in layers AI can understand and fix: selectors, DOM structure, and flow logic.

The Hidden Cost of Broken Automation

Automation maintenance quietly consumes engineering time:

A team with 500 tests spends $1.7M+ annually

Equivalent to 1+ full-time engineer

Releases are delayed

Trust in automation erodes

Coverage stagnates or declines

And most of that time is spent not fixing, but investigating what broke.

What Changes When AI Maintains Your

With AI-driven recovery and auto-healing:

~70%

Failures resolve autonomously

~30%

Need only quick human review

x10 faster

Time per failure drops from hours
to minutes

80%

Reduction in failure rates

The result: stable automation that survives UI changes instead of breaking every week.

What You’ll Get
in the Full PDF

Why popular web agent benchmarks fail to predict production success

Real failure distributions across test complexity levels

Where engineers actually spend their time during failures

Why deterministic code + AI maintenance beats pure agent approaches

The compound action problem (why 85% accuracy isn’t enough)

Median repair times by failure type

Autonomous recovery vs auto-healing success rates

What better benchmarks should measure instead

This report is based entirely on real customer data, not synthetic evaluations.

Who Should Read This

QA engineers tired of flaky tests

Engineering managers owning CI reliability

Platform and infra teams supporting automation at scale

Anyone evaluating AI agents for real production workflows

If you care about reliable automation, this report is for you.
