How Autosana Reinvents Mobile Testing With Natural Language Flows
If you’ve ever shipped a mobile app, you know the pain of QA. End-to-end tests are flaky, slow, and constantly breaking anytime your UI shifts even slightly. Add in multiple frameworks (Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Unity—you name it), and suddenly QA becomes a full-time headache.
That’s the itch Yuvan Sundrani and Jason Steinberg decided to scratch. Together, they’ve been co-founders on four companies over the past 12 years. This time, they’re tackling what they call the most frustrating bottleneck in mobile development: testing that actually works at scale.
The result is Autosana—a mobile QA agent that plugs directly into your repo, runs natural language end-to-end tests, and sends results straight to your team.
In their words:
“Fix bugs, not tests.”
Why Mobile QA Needed a Rethink
Traditional mobile QA feels like a trap. You spend hours writing test scripts, maintaining selectors, and patching flows—only to watch them fail the next time your UI changes.
The result? Teams either abandon QA altogether or live with brittle tests that don’t inspire much confidence.
Autosana flips the model:
- No code required → Describe your test flow in English.
- Self-healing agents → Tests adapt automatically when UI elements shift.
- CI/CD native → Every new build is tested instantly, no manual setup.
It’s not just less painful. It’s actually reliable.
How Autosana Works
Running your first test with Autosana is ridiculously simple:
- Upload Your App - Drop in your .apk or .app file—or connect it directly via your CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, etc.).
- Describe a Flow in English - Type out the test as if you were telling a friend: “Open the app, log in with test credentials, go to settings, change password.” No code. No selectors. Just plain language.
- Sit Back & Let It Run - Autosana’s agent executes the flow step by step. If it hits a bug, you’ll know via email or Slack—with a session replay so you can watch exactly what went wrong.
It’s QA that feels less like a chore and more like having a reliable teammate.
Key Features
🔄 Self-Healing Tests
When your UI changes, Autosana adapts automatically. No constant re-writing of fragile test scripts.
🎥 Session Replay
Every run is recorded, so you can see what the agent saw—no guesswork needed.
🌍 Framework-Agnostic
Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, React Native, Xamarin, Unity—it doesn’t matter. If it runs on mobile, Autosana supports it.
⚡ CI/CD Integration
Drop Autosana into your pipeline. New builds get tested automatically. Bugs get reported before users ever see them.
⏰ Nightly Runs
Schedule tests overnight and wake up to clean reports.
📬 Team Alerts
Results delivered via email or Slack so the whole team stays in sync.
Why Teams Are Adopting It
Autosana isn’t just theory—it’s already in production with Snapchat, YC’s mobile team, and a roster of seed-to-Series C startups.
For these teams, the selling points are clear:
- Faster deployments without QA bottlenecks.
- Confidence that tests won’t break every time the UI shifts.
- Less engineering time wasted on writing and fixing test scripts.
In a world where mobile users churn after a single bad experience, catching bugs before launch isn’t just nice to have—it’s survival.
From Founders Who’ve Been There
What makes Autosana different is the DNA of its founders. Yuvan and Jason have been building in mobile for over a decade, across multiple startups. They didn’t start with “QA as a market opportunity”—they started with QA as a personal pain point they were tired of dealing with.
That’s why Autosana feels polished out of the gate. It’s not a prototype. It’s not “yet another testing tool.” It’s the kind of product that’s been battle-tested on real apps, by founders who lived the problem.
My Take
Mobile QA has been screaming for disruption for years. Anyone who’s tried Selenium, Appium, or brittle custom frameworks knows how much time they chew up.
Autosana’s approach—natural language + self-healing agents + tight CI/CD integration—feels like the first practical evolution of QA in a long time. It’s not trying to be fancy. It’s trying to be dependable. And that’s exactly what mobile teams need.
Bugs slipping into production can kill trust faster than you can fix them. Autosana makes sure that doesn’t happen—without forcing devs into test maintenance purgatory.
If you’re building mobile and you’ve ever thought “QA sucks,” this might be the first tool that makes you say the opposite.
