Mobile CI/CD & PR testing
Mobile CI/CD and pull request testing
Web teams have tested every pull request for years. Mobile teams have not, because builds are slow and device time is scarce. Klarent runs the relevant suite on every PR and reports back before anyone has to ask.
Why mobile testing gets left out of CI
Why mobile PRs ship untested
Mobile builds are slow
A full build-and-test cycle can take longer than the PR itself, so comprehensive checks look unaffordable on every push.
Signing and provisioning fragility
Certificates, provisioning profiles and signing steps break automated builds in ways a web pipeline never has to handle.
Device time is the real bottleneck
Test execution is fast. Waiting for a free emulator, simulator or real device is not.
Bugs surface late
Without PR-level checks, mobile bugs reach main and are only caught at the release-candidate stage, when they are expensive to fix.
CI setup is too complex
Mobile testing often needs platform-specific runners, device configuration and extra infrastructure, making CI harder to maintain than teams expect.
Platform
Everything your mobile QA team needs
From generating your first test to keeping it green after every app update. Klarent handles every step.

How PR-level mobile testing works
Built for every pull request, not just release day
Triggers on every PR, commit or schedule
Runs automatically from your existing pipeline - no separate mobile CI to stand up.
Merge gating on critical paths
Define a critical-path suite and block the merge until it passes.
Selective runs, few-minute feedback
Only the scenarios relevant to the change run, keeping PR feedback inside a few minutes.
Parallel device execution
Tests run across devices in parallel, without extending how long a PR waits.
Concurrent PRs, no collisions
Multiple pull requests run at once without test data or device collisions between them.
Full artifacts on the PR
Video, logs and the exact failing step are attached directly to the pull request.
How it works
From pull request to merge decision
Pull request triggers a build
Your existing pipeline builds the app exactly as it does today.
Klarent runs the relevant suite
The mobile test suite scoped to the change executes against the new build.
Results post to the PR
Failing critical paths block the merge; everything else reports pass or fail inline.
Send failures to your coding agent
Assign the reported issue to your favorite coding agent and let it investigate, fix the problem, and close the loop.

Klarent vs. traditional QA
Klarent vs building mobile PR checks yourself
| No PR testing | In-house CI scripts | Klarent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feedback timing | Bugs surface at release-candidate stage | Feasible, but slow without heavy investment | Results post to the PR in minutes |
| Merge safety | Nothing blocks a broken merge | Requires custom gating logic per repo | Merge gated on a defined critical-path suite |
| Device time | Mobile checks skipped to save time | Devices provisioned and queued manually | Parallel device execution, no added wait |
| Concurrent PRs | Not applicable - mobile is skipped | Test data collisions between parallel runs | Multiple PRs run at once without collisions |
| Setup effort | None - and no coverage | Weeks of pipeline scripting | Wired into your existing pipeline in minutes |
Wire Klarent into your pipeline and test the next pull request.
Connect Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or your existing pipeline and see mobile PR checks running in minutes, not sprints.
FAQs
Running the relevant mobile test suite automatically against every pull request, the same way web teams have tested every PR for years, so bugs are caught before merge instead of at the release-candidate stage.
Yes. Klarent triggers from your existing pipeline on every PR, commit, or scheduled build, and runs a suite scoped to the change so feedback stays fast.
Minutes, not hours. Selective execution runs only the scenarios relevant to the change, and devices execute in parallel, so PR feedback lands inside a few-minute window.
Yes. Define a critical-path suite and Klarent gates the merge on it - a failing critical test blocks the PR until it is resolved.
Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, Bitrise, and Fastlane, with results posted back to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Jira.
Pull the build straight from your pipeline, upload it directly, or push it through the API - whichever fits how your signing and provisioning already works.
PR checks run a selective, critical-path suite for fast feedback. Nightly or release runs can cover the full regression suite for complete coverage before a release.
Yes. Concurrent PRs run in parallel without test data or device collisions between them, so one long-running PR does not block the next.
