Android app testing
Android app testing, Automated by AI Agents
Describe user journeys in plain English. Klarent builds the test, runs it across the Android devices and API levels your users actually have, and repairs it when the app changes.
The Android testing problem
Why Android test automation breaks down
Device and OS fragmentation
Thousands of Android devices, screen sizes, hardware configurations, and OS versions create a massive testing matrix.
OEM-specific behavior
Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and other OEMs customize Android, causing UI differences and test failures across devices.
Multiple Android versions
Older Android API levels remain in use for years, making it difficult to maintain reliable test coverage across versions.
High test maintenance
UI changes, device differences, and flaky locators turn automated Android tests into a constant maintenance burden.
Test environment complexity
Emulators, real devices, cloud device farms, and different network conditions make consistent Android testing harder to reproduce.
Flaky automated tests
Timing issues, permissions, network conditions, and device-specific behavior can cause tests to fail intermittently without real app defects.
Platform
Everything your mobile QA team needs
From generating your first test to keeping it green after every app update. Klarent handles every step.

Platform capabilities
Built for how Android app testing actually works
Plain-English test creation
Describe the flow once in plain English - no Espresso or UIAutomator scripting, no XPath selectors or resource IDs to maintain by hand.
Self-healing locators
Locators adapt automatically across UI refactors, OEM skins and Android version upgrades, so tests keep passing without manual fixes.
Parallel execution
Run the full suite across the device matrix in parallel, so feedback lands in minutes instead of running overnight.
Device and OS coverage control
Pin a specific device and API level matrix per suite, or per release, so coverage matches exactly what your users are running.
Native Android interaction support
Native support for permissions, notifications, intents, back-stack navigation and deep links.
Run evidence on every failure
Every failure ships with video, device logs, screenshots and the exact failing step, so there is no need to reproduce it manually.
Test coverage
What you can test on Android
Authentication
Sign-up, login, biometric and OTP authentication.
Payments and billing
Checkout, in-app payments and Play Billing flows.
Media and permissions
Camera, file upload, gallery and permission prompts.
Notifications and deep links
Push notifications and deep-link entry points.
Embedded web views
WebView screens inside the native app.
Offline and background state
Background/foreground state and network conditions.
Framework support
Frameworks and app types supported
Native Android
Kotlin and Java apps, tested directly.
Cross-platform builds
React Native and Flutter apps, on the same Android device matrix.
Mobile web
Chrome, for hybrid and web-based flows.

Klarent vs. traditional QA
Klarent vs Espresso, Appium and in-house frameworks
| Espresso / Appium | In-house framework | Klarent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authoring effort | Write and maintain Java/Kotlin or WebDriver scripts by hand | Custom framework code on top of Espresso/Appium, owned internally | Describe the flow in plain English. No code |
| Maintenance load | Every UI change breaks locators. Scripts need manual fixes | Framework absorbs some churn, but still needs dedicated engineers | Self-healing locators adapt automatically |
| Device coverage | Limited to devices you provision and configure yourself | Depends on the device farm the team builds and maintains | Full device and API level matrix, run in parallel out of the box |
| Skills needed | Android development or SDET scripting skills required | Framework engineers plus SDETs to maintain it | No coding or scripting background required |
| Time to first test | Days to weeks, depending on setup | Weeks to months to stand up the framework | Minutes, from an APK/AAB upload |
Run your first Android test on your own build.

FAQs
Upload an APK or AAB (or connect your CI pipeline), describe the flow you want to test in plain English, and Klarent's AI agent generates the executable test. From there it runs across your chosen emulators or real devices, in parallel, and reports back with full run evidence.
No. Klarent runs entirely in the cloud - upload your build or pull it from your pipeline, and Klarent handles execution. There's nothing to install locally.
Use emulators for fast, parallel feedback on every commit, and real devices to catch OEM- and hardware-specific issues before a release.
Klarent covers a broad matrix of Android API levels and OEM devices out of the box, and you can pin a specific matrix per suite or release so coverage matches what your users are actually running.
Yes. Upload either format directly, or pull the build straight from your CI/CD pipeline.
Espresso and Appium require you to write and maintain scripts by hand, and locators break every time the UI changes. Klarent generates tests from plain-English descriptions and self-heals locators automatically, so there is no scripting and far less maintenance.
Klarent's self-healing locators detect the change - a moved button, a renamed label, a restructured screen - and adapt the test automatically, so it keeps passing without manual rework.
Yes. Trigger Klarent from Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Bitrise, or Fastlane, and gate a release build on a critical-path suite.
Yes. Alongside native Android (Kotlin, Java), Klarent supports cross-platform builds like React Native and Flutter, as well as mobile web in Chrome on Android.
Minutes. Upload an APK or AAB, describe your first flow in plain English, and run it - no framework setup or driver configuration required.
