What is noqa?
noqa is an AI qa testing tool built for mobile apps and games. Writing and maintaining locator-based test scripts takes engineering time that most teams don’t have. noqa reads the screen visually and drives tests on real iOS and Android devices using plain-language instructions. It works across native apps, cross-platform frameworks, game engines, and canvas-based UIs with no SDK and no changes to your app. QA engineers, mobile developers, indie game studios, and solo builders running fast release cycles are the people this qa testing tool is built for.

Features & Benefits
- Visual Screen Reading: interpret the screen from screenshots alone, with no element tree or locators required
- Plain-Language Test Authoring: write test cases in plain text with no code, no selectors, and no scripts
- Agentic Test Execution: run an AI agent that taps, types, and scrolls through your app like a real user
- Agent Memory: accelerate qa testing on familiar flows to roughly 1 second per action after the first run
- Real Device Testing: run tests on physical iOS and Android devices, not just simulators
- Cloud Device Fleet: scale qa testing across 1,000+ cloud devices in parallel with no hardware to manage
- Video and Screenshot Reports: get a full visual trace of every run, with per-step screenshots and video playback
- CLI with Automatic Grounding: connect a coding agent to a real device and describe any element in plain language; noqa finds and taps it with no pixel coordinates needed
- Cleaned Element Tree Output: get a filtered, noise-free element tree with exact positions via
noqa screen, using 7x fewer tokens than a raw UI dump - Framework and Engine Support: test apps built in React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, Unity, Unreal, or Godot without touching your codebase
- Non-Native UI Coverage: test webviews, canvas editors, maps, ads, and system dialogs that locator-based tools cannot reach
- TestFlight Support: run qa testing against TestFlight builds before public release
- Integrations: connect to CI/CD pipelines, issue trackers, messaging tools, and automation systems via webhooks and API

Real-World Applications
Mobile QA engineers at app studios can cut regression cycles that used to take days down to minutes. A team shipping an app weekly can write test cases in plain language, trigger them against a cloud device fleet, and get full video reports back before the build hits production. noqa handles the repetitive runs, so QA staff can focus on edge cases and new features instead.
Game developers building in Unity or Unreal face a harder problem: standard locator tools don’t work on game UIs at all. noqa reads pixels rather than elements, so a studio can run automated qa testing across actual game flows: menus, level transitions, in-app purchase screens, and onboarding sequences. It works on both iOS and Android builds, including complex canvas UIs that other automation skips entirely.
Coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can use the noqa CLI to test and debug their own output on real devices as they build. Instead of relying on simulator behavior, an agent can connect to a physical phone, read the screen, and verify that a button tap or form input behaves correctly. Solo developers using AI-assisted coding get live device feedback directly in their workflow.
Small teams and indie developers who lack a dedicated QA function can start with a free tier that includes CLI access and $5 in agent credits. A two-person mobile team can set up their first qa testing flow in minutes, catch regressions on every pull request, and scale up cloud device runs only when volume requires it.
