Our last launch answered a question we hadn't asked

We launched CoWork, a mobile app testing solution, on PH a while back and got a lot of useful feedback. Some of the most interesting comments came from developers who wanted to test their mobile apps before the merge, not after.

So we built QApilot MCP, that lets Claude, Cursor or Codex drive a real Android device. It launches Saturday.

From launch day to learning day: thank you, Product Hunt.

We launched QApilot's CoWork on Product Hunt last week. We got amazing feedback, sharp questions, and an immense validation from the community that we are solving a real problem. A big thanks to the community for placing us at #2 product of the day.

Explore QApilot's CoWork here - https://qapilot.io/product/cowork. Happy to give a product walkthrough and offer free-trial for mobile app testing teams.

Review QApilot?

Reviewers see QApilot as a practical mobile testing tool that gets teams running fast, especially by turning existing manual, Excel, or BDD test cases into executable flows without heavy scripting. Users also praise quick app-first coverage through Crawler and support for dual-app scenarios. The most repeated strength is handling UI changes and popups more sensibly than brittle automation, with human approval when intent could drift. The main critique, echoed by founders of GTA DataCity, is limited visibility into replanning, failures, and execution controls.

What's great

We had a manual QA team running most of our regression through Excel-based test cases the problem was test steps in one place, execution in someone's head. CoWork mode was the thing that actually helped: it let us feed in our existing test cases instead of starting automation from scratch, so we weren't throwing away months of manual QA knowledge to get to automation. That "automate what you already have" angle is rare most tools assume you're starting fresh.

What needs improvement

Honestly, most of my hands-on time has been in CoWork, so I can't speak in detail to the Crawler, Record & Play, or dual device testing modes yet they're on the platform and worth checking out, but I'd rather not review what I haven't used. One thing I'd genuinely like improved: better visibility/documentation for teams like ours who are only using one mode, so it's clearer what the other modes would add before we invest time exploring them.

vs Alternatives

We looked at Appium (too much setup and maintenance overhead for a small team) and BrowserStack's own automation tooling (good device coverage, but not built around converting existing manual test cases). QApilot's CoWork approach to migrating from Excel-based cases was the deciding factor over both.

What's great

the "fails honestly instead of faking a pass" philosophy is what stands out. the maker explained in the launch comments that when the UI changes, CoWork replans against the current app state but anchors to the original intent of the step rather than the old UI path - if a new path could change what the test is actually validating, it stops and asks for approval instead of silently continuing. that distinction between adapting to harmless UI change versus letting a test drift into validating the wrong thing is exactly the failure mode that makes most mobile automation untrustworthy after a few releases.

What needs improvement

someone asked in the comments what percentage of failures actually need manual intervention versus recovering on their own in production, since that's what determines the real maintenance cost over time. the maker's honest answer was that they're tracking it internally but don't want to quote a broad number yet because it varies by app and flow. that's a fair answer for a 2-month-old product, but it's also exactly the number a team evaluating this for a sprint workflow needs before committing, so publishing even a rough range would help a lot.

vs Alternatives

TestMu AI

TestMu AI markets itself as a full-stack agentic QE platform, which sounded like it covers more ground on paper. but QApilot's CoWork is scoped specifically to the mobile execution problem - turning test cases you already wrote into something that runs on a real device and knows when to stop and ask instead of guessing. for a QA team that already has test cases but low execution coverage, a narrower tool that's honest about its limits felt like a safer bet than a broader agentic platform still proving itself.

What's great

I’m mostly a web developer, but recently I was checking out Appium and Maestro as well, but then I came across this. The idea of just telling the coding agent “test this flow” and actually seeing it interact with the app was what made me try it.started trying to build a mobile app too. And I realised pretty quickly that mobile testing is a lot more complicated than web testing with all the devices, emulators and different flows.

Saw QApilot MCP & tried it with my app. The cool part is I can test the app right from the coding agent itself. I just describe what I want to test in English and it actually interacts with the app and runs the flow.

Not having to write Appium scripts was really cool...

What needs improvement

Would be nice to have better debugging details when a test fails, so it’s easier to understand whether the issue is with the app or the test flow.
