Show HN: E2E mobile testing with plain English. Runs on Android and iOS

https://finalrun.app
2•arnold_laishram•2w ago
I’ve been building mobile apps for 10+ years, many used by millions of users. One problem kept coming back at every release: mobile testing is the bottleneck.

Before releases I spent hours, sometimes days, babysitting flaky tests. Our team ended up spending ~40–50% of its time maintaining test scripts and fixing issues that could have been caught earlier. Existing tools (Appium, etc.) rely on brittle selectors and hard-coded scripts that break as soon as the UI changes or any random popup appears during testing.

So I built a different approach from the ground up: test like a human. Describe the flow you want to test in plain English, and a Vision+Intent agent executes that flow on real Android and iOS devices. The agent understands context (if a popup appears it dismisses it and continues), maps intent to UI actions, and aims to make test definitions resilient across platforms.

It’s early and opinionated. We optimized for:

1. drastically reduced test maintenance 2. fewer false failures in CI 3. a single test definition that works on both Android and iOS

We’re actively looking for feedback from people who’ve fought mobile testing: what’s still broken for you, and what would make this genuinely useful? If you’ve got flaky suites, device-farm headaches, or cross-platform parity pain — I’d love to hear specifics.

Happy to answer anything technical, especially around flakiness, determinism, CI reliability, and where this breaks down today.

We’ve made tradeoffs and this won’t fit every team.
