Mobile app testing

Your mobile app, tested the same way you test the web.

Upload an Android .apk or iOS .app build and describe the flow in plain language. Donobu drives it through Appium the same way it drives a browser: exploring, self-healing, and reporting back, no separate mobile QA tooling required.

The problem

The web app gets a regression suite. The mobile app gets a prayer.

Most teams invest heavily in web test coverage and treat mobile as an afterthought: a manual pass before release, a device or two someone happens to own, and a hope that App Store review doesn't surface something embarrassing. Native mobile testing usually means a separate toolchain, separate scripting expertise in Appium or XCUITest, and a device lab most teams don't want to build just to keep a mobile app honest.

How it works

Same Studio. Same plain language. Different runtime.

01

Upload your build.

Drop an Android .apk or iOS .app build into Donobu Studio's mobile view. No separate environment to stand up.

02

Describe the flow, same as web.

The same plain-language authoring you already use for browser testing: "Open the app, log in, add an item to the cart, check out."

03

Donobu drives it through Appium.

Under the hood, Donobu uses the same AI-driven exploration and self-healing model as web testing, with selectors generated and tuned for native mobile UI elements instead of reused from browser DOM patterns.

04

Repeated runs get faster.

Donobu reuses existing Appium sessions where possible, instead of cold-starting a new session on every run.

Ownership

Appium under the hood, not a Donobu-only format.

Mobile flows run on Appium, the open, widely used standard for mobile automation, not a proprietary Donobu format you can only run inside our product. Execution is local-first, on your machine or in your VPC. If you ever move on from Donobu, your flows and what they test don't disappear into a system only we can open.

One platform

Not a bolt-on. Part of the same platform.

If your team already uses Donobu for web testing, mobile isn't a new tool to learn or a new vendor to manage. It's the same Studio, the same plain-language flows, and the same self-healing model, extended to native Android and iOS builds.

FAQ

FAQ

What mobile platforms does Donobu support?

Android (.apk) and iOS (.app) builds, through a first-party Appium-based plugin in Donobu Studio.

Do we author mobile flows differently than web flows?

No. Mobile flows use the same plain-language authoring as web flows. You upload a build instead of pointing at a URL, and Donobu takes it from there.

Does self-healing work the same way for mobile?

Yes. Mobile testing uses the same self-healing model as web, with selectors generated and tuned for native mobile UI elements.

Is mobile testing a separate product or add-on?

No. It's part of Donobu Studio. Upload a build directly from the mobile view and author flows the same way you already do for the web.
