Smarter Verification & Object Management with Muffins

Written by Muffins Team

Imagine this: a pharma system displays the wrong dosage, an aircraft interface wrongly reads the altitude, or a banking app misplaces a decimal. In regulated industries, even the smallest slip is not just a bug—it is a compliance failure with billion-dollar worth disaster.

In highly regulated industries, minor details like a single misaligned decimal point or a navigation reading off by mere pixels can trigger disastrous failures—patients receiving wrong dosages, aircraft navigation errors, or financial transactions processed incorrectly. When software supports and controls critical systems, verification is not just best practice—it is a regulatory mandate with zero escape for defects.

Yet in most test automation tools, verification is an afterthought— requiring extensive custom coding, complex scripting, or manual validation steps that become bottlenecks. Muffins simplifies verification for testers and QA teams - helping them verify UI elements with precision, manage test objects intelligently, and maintain conflict-free test environments.

2.Muffins: Real-Time Verification during Test creation

Traditional smoke tests simply check if a page loads or a button clicks, but cannot address regulatory requirements that demand granular, precise verification. Medical device software must meet FDA guidelines, aviation systems must comply with FAA requirements, and SOX compliance is mandatory for financial reporting—each demanding rigorous testing protocols. A single verification failure can trigger regulatory investigations, heavy fines, and loss of company reputation.

Muffins integrates verification directly into the test creation process—making it as intuitive as recording a user interaction. Whether you are testing in healthcare, aerospace, or managing rapid UI changes in fintech, or SaaS, Muffins ensures verifications are both precise and easy to manage.

As testers interact with the application—clicking buttons, filling forms, navigating interfaces—they can instantly add verification steps without breaking workflow. Simply click any UI element, and Muffins presents a comprehensive "Verify" dropdown with contextually relevant options such as Verify Text, Verify Font Size, Verify Table, Verify Row, Verify Column or Verify Cell. The system instantly captures current values, enabling precise validation without writing a single line of code.

Want to confirm critical error messages appear in the right font size for accessibility compliance? Select "Verify Font Size" and Muffins instantly captures and locks the specification. Need to confirm that sensitive data appears in the correct table position for audit trails? Table verification options specify not just that data exists, but exactly where it should appear. This real-time approach eliminates the traditional disconnect between test recording and verification setup.

2a. Advanced Verification Capabilities on Muffins

Text Elements – Font family verification
Muffins goes beyond simple presence checks to include font family verification—crucial for applications where typography compliance is mandated, like healthcare portals or government systems with strict design standards.

Tables – Verify Row, Verify Column, Verify Table, Verify Cell
Enterprise applications rely heavily on tabular data. Muffins offers granular options like Verify Row, Verify Column, Verify Cell, and Verify Table —a fantastic value add for financial dashboards where the order of transactions must be verified, or healthcare systems where patient data must appear in specific grid positions for compliance.

It is also easy to confirm whether a dynamic row (e.g., “Status: Approved”) appears in the expected location—say, the 5th row of a grid. This is especially useful when validating:

1. Tabular data in admin dashboards
2. Transaction order in audit logs
3. Custom views in enterprise apps

3. Muffins: Preset Verification & Scalable Verification

3a. Preset Verification

We are consciously building a library of standard preset verifications and expanding it based on clients’ feedback—ensuring new options address real-world needs without creating maintenance overhead.

3b. Scalable Verification through Smart Object Management

Verification is only as good as the underlying object management system behind it. In complex enterprise applications with 100s of pages and 1000s of UI elements, maintaining a clean, accurate object repository is crucial.

The common problem

In many no-code or low-code tools, the same UI element often gets stored multiple times in the object repository, because of small variations. This leads to unpredictable tests, referencing different versions of the same object. Verification steps may pass in one context but fail in another, because the repository has many duplicates or mismatches.

Muffins solution

Muffins mimics humans and how they naturally recognize objects – using labels, context, and visual cues. Instead of relying on technical locators like XPath or HTML attributes, Muffins uses a combination of object labels, surrounding context, and proprietary algorithms. Every interaction is stored with a highlighted screenshot, so testers know exactly what was captured.

When Muffins encounters the same object again, its backend logic decides whether to overwrite the existing entry or create a new one. If all key properties (label, URL, position, etc.) match, the object is updated; if not, a new object is created. For testers, this happens seamlessly—no duplicate clean-up, no locator confusion, no manual management.

Visual-first, human-like experience

When creating or editing tests, users browse objects by name and image, not cryptic selectors. Muffins’ visual-first repository makes it easy to pick the right element, even when labels repeat across pages. This approach not only prevents mis-selections but also opens automation to manual testers and business users, not just automation engineers.

Enterprise-scale impact

For large, dynamic applications with hundreds of pages, Muffins keeps repositories clean, avoids object bloat, and ensures verification steps remain accurate and stable. By embedding visual intelligence directly into object management, Muffins delivers:

• Cleaner object reuse
• Minimal object bloat
• Faster, more reliable test execution
• Easier debugging
• More maintainable test suites

This combination of scalable verification and human-like visual intelligence makes Muffins the most suitable QA for enterprise environments where UI is very complex and regulatory scrutiny needs to be accurate & auditable.

4.What’s coming next on Muffins

Software is increasingly becoming integral to high-stakes industries navigating complex compliance requirements—from healthcare systems managing patient care to financial platforms processing global transactions. Precise automated verification has become more critical than ever.

We are strengthening Muffins’ verification and object-handling capabilities with:

• Expanded preset verification types
• Smarter auto-suggestions based on previous test patterns
• Enhanced support for multi-language UIs and accessibility verifications
