Mobile Testing

Agentic Mobile QA that works like a human, not a script.

Spur runs real test journeys on iOS and Android apps tapping, scrolling, pressing-and-holding, deep-linking, and switching between apps the way your customers actually do. No selectors. No per-platform scripts. No flaky automation to babysit.

Mobile testing is all the

pain of web,

times 10.

Mobile is a different beast. Native apps vary across devices and rely on gestures, deep links, and app switches that browser tools miss. So teams test by hand, leaving a major coverage gap.
Automated QA is the future
“I have no reliable automated coverage for the mobile app at all, flows still depend heavily on manual testing. Other vendors don’t cover any of that native mobile behavior.”

Spur thinks like a real user, on a mobile device, at every step.
Reads the screen
Spur identifies every UI element, buttons, text, images, lists, by what it looks like, not by an ID a developer has to remember to set.
Decides what to do
Given a goal in plain English ("add a product to cart"), Spur figures out the steps and adapts when the layout changes between iOS, Android, or a redesign.
Reports what it found, validates intent
Every run comes with screenshots, video, and a step-by-step trace, so a failure is a fix, not a debugging session.

Real touch gestures,
not simulated clicks

Tap, swipe, and press-and-hold, including interactions browser tools cannot reproduce.

Sees everything

under the hood.

When a mobile test fails, "it failed" isn't good enough. Every Spur run ships with video and visual evidence. On top of that, we offer developers a way to debug root causes.
Console logs, bug classification, direct API calls and network-log agents available

Console logs

Full console and network logs output auto-captured each run to find failures.

Direct API calls

Make & assert API calls in test setup to verify backends and link UI with services.

Network-log agent

A dedicated agent monitors API traffic during tests, flagging failures.

Bug classification

Failures auto-classified so you see what broke without manual triage.

Tuned to your app.

Built into

your release.

A test in Spur is an intent, not a script. And because that paragraph describes intent, not selectors, it works on every platform you ship to.

Native gestures

Tap, long-press, swipe, pinch, drag. Spur handles platform-specific gesture quirks for you.

Device cloud

Simulators for iPhone 12–15 Pro, Pixel 6–8, mid-tier Samsung phones.
Tested in Samsung, iPhone and Google mobile environments.

CI/CD ready

GitHub Actions today, every other CI tomorrow. Block merges on failure.
Display of passed automated QA tests

In-the-moment decisions

Spur manages pop-ups, banners, and
consent prompts effortlessly.
Included location testing

Secure build upload

Securely upload a build or pull from yourCI/CD. Runs trigger on each commit.
Spur's easy integration into a CI/CD pipeline

Adapts to every app

Tune agent to your app’s naming, conventions & quirks so tests work app by app.
Automated QA self recognizes specific elements of the UI

Find the bugs

Manual QA misses.

Spur doesn’t just tap and swipe. It visually checks that the right thing happened after every action, catching failures selector-based tests miss when the screen doesn’t match the expected result.

Testimonials

“Spur changed how we work — and how we feel about releases. What used to be stressful, all-day regressions are now automated checks.”

Charles Donaldson

Senior Product Manager, Recovery.com

Last year my confidence going into Black Friday was a five out of ten. This year it's a ten out of ten.

Alanah Anderson

Product Manager, Eight Sleep

Spur is our first big win company-wide in terms of implementing the use of AI agents. When we were able to share this with our greater team, everybody was almost in awe of what we were able to achieve.

Chloe Lu

Manager, E-commerce Quality Assurance, Living Spaces

Spur is always right. We used to spend hours testing stuff manually. Now we just run Spur and never test ourselves.

Thomas Bueler-Faudree

Co-founder, August

“Before Spur, we relied on Alona to manually spot check our widgets store by store. We knew that was not going to scale as we added more brands.”

Janvi Shah

Co-Founder & CEO, Hue

“The more you use Spur, the smarter it gets. The smarter it gets, the faster you can write tests and find bugs.”

Solomon Ademuwagun

QA Manager, UncommonGoods

“It made people’s jobs easier. No one was let go, and it created space to work on more interesting problems.”

Katherine Maddox

Director of Quality Engineering, Wondr Health

"I wouldn't feel comfortable, because that would mean I would need to spend a lot of time running repetitive tasks again. With Spur, we do feel more comfortable."

Sebastian Villanueva

QA Engineer, OurPlace

"It is definitely one of the most useful things we have had, not just for QA but for our company in general. I would just suggest other fintech teams try it out. It would give you more security that your actual money and your actual processes and flows are being covered very comprehensively."

Denise Anne Gamboa

Product & Project Manager, OneSafe

"After 15 years in QA, I’ve never ramped up faster. Spur’s AI gives detailed feedback that makes dev handoff easy — and their support eliminated the pain of UI automation. I’d pick Spur over any other framework, hands down"

Theodore Schachter

QA Engineer, Studeo

"It catches bugs manual QA would miss — like improved lyric adherence or subtle playback issues — and handles the messy, creative flows our users follow. It even helped us find UX improvements due to our complex designs"

Justin K. Chen

Head of Engineering, Udio

"Spur takes testing to the next level. I was mind blown when I saw it work, and how easy it was to set up tests just with natural language. "

Justin Hill

Software Engineer, Figma

“I’m gonna see if I can expense Spur through my wellness stipend. Category: Therapy”

Gabe Wilson

Founder, Terrakotta

Spur has significantly improved Wander’s testing capabilities. It has allowed us to iterate & ship so much faster with confidence!

Nathan Potter

CTO, Wander.com

"Spur is shockingly easy to use—no coding, just plain English. Simply describe what you want to test, and Spur handles the rest. Onboarding was a breeze, and Anushka and Sneha are fantastic to work with."

General Questions

Spur connects to CI/CD through GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, and a webhook for other providers such as Jenkins or CircleCI, so test plans can run on each pull or merge request and block a merge when something breaks. Tests run in parallel, with separate concurrency for iOS and Android so mobile runs scale alongside the rest of your suite.

Every run produces a step-by-step visual replay: a screenshot of each screen next to the action the agent took on it, so you can see exactly where and why a run diverged. Console log data is captured during native runs as well, so you have more than the visual trace to work from. That evidence is usually enough to confirm whether a failure is a genuine product issue or a test that needs a small adjustment.

Because tests describe intent in plain English rather than pointing at specific elements, a layout change that a person would still understand usually will not break them. Tests are designed to fail when the user story or the behavior actually changes, not when the code underneath does. Your team owns the tests and can edit them in plain language, with no scripting required to keep them running.

Some journeys pass through a screen or sheet that sits outside your app's own UI, such as a verification step. Because the agent drives the full device session and acts on whatever is on screen, it can continue through these moments the way a person would, rather than stopping at your app's boundary. When a flow needs a verification code, the agent can read it in-flow through the built-in email step.

Instead of guessing distances, you tell the agent what to look for and it scrolls until that element appears, for example "scroll down until the Add to Cart button is visible." When you point it at a specific container, it scrolls inside that container, so a feed inside a card or a list inside a tab moves on its own. You can also control motion by position, percentage, pixel value, or intensity.

Yes. Spur can open a specific screen directly through your app's URI scheme (for example, yourapp://products/12345). This is useful for jumping straight to the screen under test and for confirming your app handles incoming links correctly. You will find your scheme in Info.plist on iOS or AndroidManifest.xml on Android. Pair a deep link with a wait or verify step so the destination has time to load.

Yes. Because the agent works from what is on screen rather than from platform-specific locators, it is framework-agnostic and works with native apps regardless of how they were built. Hybrid apps with embedded WebView content are supported as well.

Native tests run on cloud-hosted iOS Simulators and Android Emulators, so iOS builds need to be Simulator builds. You can pick from a range of devices and current OS versions, including recent iPhones (the iPhone 15 through 17 families and iPhone SE), iPads (Pro, Air, and mini), and Pixel devices (Pixel 4a, 4 XL, 5, and 6 Pro). Running on managed virtual devices keeps runs consistent and easy to parallelize, with no physical device lab to maintain.

You upload your build to a native environment, then select it when you run a test. Spur accepts .apk for Android and .ipa or .app.zip for iOS. A single test can target iOS, Android, or both.

No. Spur does not rely on XPaths, selectors, or added accessibility hooks. Every run is an AI run: the agent looks at the screen and interacts with it the way a person does. You describe the test in plain English, so the build you test is the same build you ship.

No. Spur tests your app as a finished build. You upload your compiled iOS and Android binaries, and the agent runs against them as a black box, the same way a real user would. There is nothing to wire into your repository, and Spur requires zero access to your codebase.
