What is Failure Analysis?
Failure analysis is the triage step after a red run: was this a genuine regression, a flaky timing issue, a changed selector, or a broken environment? Answering quickly is critical, because misclassified failures either hide real bugs or waste time chasing ghosts. Rich artifacts—traces, screenshots, videos, network and console logs—make the diagnosis fast and factual. QI's failure analysis surfaces the likely cause and, where the issue is a shifted UI element, its healing engine can repair the selector so a real defect isn't buried under maintenance noise.
