Mobile test automation on real iOS and Android devices, in one suite.
Mobile test automation in ZeuZ runs native, hybrid and web apps on real iOS and Android devices, emulators, simulators and device clouds, from one case that holds both platforms' locators. It sits in the same suite as your web and API tests, so the journey that starts on the phone and ends in the database is one test.

Mobile test automation is the scripted testing of iOS and Android applications, native, hybrid or web, on real devices, emulators and simulators, so an app change is checked on the platforms users run before release. ZeuZ drives mobile tests through Appium, with 70 mobile actions, Android-iOS locator pairs in one case, ADB-level device control and device cloud integrations, in the same suite as web, desktop and API tests.
Where mobile testing breaks today.
The iOS suite and the Android suite are two codebases for one app, and they drift apart within a quarter.
Emulator runs pass and real devices fail, and the device lab is a drawer of phones someone plugs in on release day.
Mobile tests are flaky on every pull request, so the team stops gating on them and finds the bug in the app store reviews.
How ZeuZ automates mobile test automation.
- 01Test designProposes the app flows a change touches, ranked by importance, so device time goes to the risk.
- 02Test case creationDescribe the flow in plain English; ZeuZ writes one case that carries both platforms' locators.
- 03Test automation70 mobile actions through Appium compile into readable steps; the AI Mobile Inspector generates locators from a tap on the device.
- 04Test executionRuns on real devices, emulators, simulators or a device cloud, on a schedule or on every pull request, with device switching by serial.
- 05Reporting and analysisEvery failed step returns the screenshot, the error and the device it ran on, so flaky is separated from real.
- 06Test maintenanceWhen a screen changes, ZeuZ proposes the locator repair as a diff a person approves.
Your team reviews what ZeuZ produced. Nothing joins the suite or runs without a person accepting it.

Mobile testing tools for real devices and every app type.
ZeuZ drives Android 4.4 and later through Appium's uiautomator2 driver and iOS through Appium and WebDriverAgent, on real devices, Android emulators, iOS simulators and device clouds including BrowserStack, LambdaTest, Sauce Labs, Firebase, HeadSpin and AWS, or an in-house lab. Native, hybrid and web apps are covered, with context switching between native and WebView, and Safari on iOS. Elements are located by resource ID, accessibility ID, text, name, class or XPath, and one step can carry an Android and an iOS locator separated by |*|, so a single case runs on both platforms.
The 70 actions include tap, double tap, long press, swipe, pan, picker wheel, text entry with delay, alerts, hide keyboard, app install, launch, reset and teardown, and screenshots, plus device operations through ADB: unlock, reboot, wake, IMEI and model, and switching between connected devices by serial. The AI Mobile Inspector generates locators from the live device, so mobile test automation starts from a tap on the screen rather than a selector written manually.
