Any tools we could use to test mobile apps automation testing using AI (Like MCPs for mobile app testing)??

Reflect tests mobile apps by converting plain text instructions into appium commands at runtime using AI. Your tests are just the text steps.

I found helpful this explanation of what Antithesis isn't:

> Property-based testing vs. Antithesis

> Property-based testing (PBT) uses random inputs to check individual data structures, procedures, or occasionally whole programs for high-level invariants or properties. Property-based testing has much in common with fuzzing—the main differences are heritage (PBT comes from the functional programming world, while fuzzing comes from the security/systems programming world) and focus (program functionality vs. security issues). Like fuzzing, PBT is generally only applicable to self-contained libraries and processes.

> Antithesis is analogous to applying PBT to an entire interacting software system—including systems that are concurrent, stateful, and interactive. Antithesis can randomly vary the inputs to a software program, and also the environment within which it runs. Like a PBT system, Antithesis is designed to check high-level properties and invariants of the system under test, but it can do so with many more types of software.

I've scrubbed through the video, and it seems to be 100% talking-head filler except for an outro still image—no actual video information content at all unless you want to analyze Wilson's facial expressions or think he's hot.

Regular reminder that yt-dlp (--write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en) can download subtitles that you can read, grep, and excerpt, so you don't have to watch videos like this unless you like to.
