Do I have to rewrite my existing tests to run them on TestMu AI?

No. Your Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, and Detox suites run as they are. You point them at TestMu AI with a single endpoint change, in whatever language you already use, so there's no migration project and no rewriting of existing tests.

How is real-device automation different from running on emulators, and when do I need each?

Emulators and simulators are useful for fast, early-stage checks during development. Real devices are where biometric, camera, sensor, and gesture behavior actually surfaces, so they're what you use for release-grade confidence. Most teams automate on emulators early and on real devices before shipping, and you can do both here.

Can I automate tests that use biometrics, camera, GPS, or other hardware features?

Yes. Because your tests run on real devices, you can automate flows that depend on biometrics, camera, GPS, SIM, and other sensors, driven directly from your test script rather than set by hand. These are exactly the flows emulators can't reproduce reliably.

Can I automate against a private or pre-release build?

Yes. You can reach private, internal, and pre-release builds securely through the encrypted LT Tunnel, without deploying them publicly, so your automation can test builds before they're released.

Is my app and test data secure during automated runs?

Yes. Sessions run in isolated environments and are wiped after each run, so your app, data, and credentials don't carry over between sessions. TestMu AI is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA compliant, with encryption in transit and at rest.

Can I run automation on dedicated or on-premise devices?

Yes. Alongside the public device cloud, you can run on dedicated devices reserved for your team, or on a fully on-premise setup behind your own firewall, for teams with strict data-residency or isolation requirements.

What app formats can I automate against?

You can upload a .apk, .aab, or .ipa directly, or install from a connected store, then run your automated suite against it.

Is there a free plan for mobile app automation testing?

Yes. You can start free with no credit card, and upgrade when you need more parallel sessions or device access.

KANE AI

Run Codeless Tests With KaneAI

Skip writing test cases. Drop in a Jira ticket, PRD, PDF, screenshot, or spreadsheet, get structured cases back.

Learn more about KaneAI

No Appium, no scripting knowledge required. Describe your test scenario like "Test Face ID login on iPhone 17 under 4G throttle" and KaneAI converts it into a running automated test on a real device.

When a UI element changes - a button renamed, a field repositioned; KaneAI automatically updates the locator and keeps the test running.

Connect your database. KaneAI generates tests from live queries, so edge cases get caught in CI.
