Accessibility checked on every build

Two days waiting for QA can turn a small fix into another round of rebasing and context switching. See how a workflow using AI agents could cut manual QA effort by 30% across mobile, web, and TV, and learn how to validate the gains.

Appduct lets AI QA agents call functions registered by your team inside a running app. This article illustrates how an adjustable app clock and a simulated invitation event can prepare conditions for UI checks.

TesterArmy's e2e uses agent-device to drive mobile tests on iOS and Android. This article walks through goal-based actions, deterministic checks, the mobile engine, and replay caching, then shows how to initialize a test setup. Cached agent.act steps skip model calls; agent.assert continues to evaluate the current screen.

Mobile Dev brings live device previews, annotations, logs, and performance profiling into Codex. Explore the initial preview for iOS and Android development, with built-in agent-device support.

Jev is a model from TypeSafe that chooses between predefined options instead of generating text. We paired it with agent-device to explore what that approach could mean for AI-driven QA: reading app state, selecting actions, and checking the result. We walk through our proof of concept, how the two tools work together, and a recorded run that took 14 seconds and cost $0.0023 in model inference.

Code review and green CI checks do not prove a mobile app still works. Learn how cloud agents, agent-device, and runtime evidence can verify app behavior before merge.

Agent-device v0.20 turns known mobile journeys into scripts that agents can replay in seconds without further model calls. This article reports the experiments behind that workflow, based on 20 repeated runs, 38 Maestro flows, and 36 repair trials. It maps out when a task calls for settled observations, deterministic replay, live execution, repair, or a full re-recording as an app changes. It also covers how to validate repaired flows, prevent plausible but incorrect actions, and measure performance under realistic load.

Sniffler helps JavaScript and TypeScript teams run only the E2E tests affected by a change. It traces import and export relationships and reduces unnecessary CI work without asking teams to give up test coverage.

Agent React DevTools gives AI agents direct access to the React component tree, state, and performance data. Instead of relying only on UI snapshots, agents can now inspect what happens inside React and debug issues with proper context. This enables more reliable QA, better performance analysis, and deeper automation for React and React Native apps.

AI agents are powerful tools for mobile automation, but running them can get expensive and slow if they consume too many tokens. In this post, we break down how we optimized Agent Device to cut LLM token usage in half and speed up execution by 33%.

This article introduces agent-device, a new CLI for automating mobile UI workflows with AI agents. It explains what the tool is, how it helps developers with token-efficient snapshots and repeatable interactions, and why Callstack is building it to bridge exploratory agent behavior with deterministic replay across iOS and Android.

Introducing React Native Harness: a new way to test native modules directly on real devices and emulators. It brings together the speed and simplicity of Jest with the realism of on-device execution, giving developers a powerful, CI-ready tool to validate native behavior with ease. Harness makes it simple to ensure your native code works exactly as intended across every platform.

While many React Native testing tools like Jest and Appium are transferable to TV development, they lack built-in support for remote control interactions. For component tests, this means the standard library helpers are insufficient, requiring developers to build their own mocks that emit low-level hardware key events to simulate D-pad focus changes. For end-to-end tests, it requires distinct configurations and commands for native versus web-based TV platforms. This article explains how to create these custom JS test helpers from scratch and how to set up Appium to run automated E2E tests on emulators, real devices, and device farms.
