The Mobile Testing Workshop for Teams Who Gave Up on Automation
They test by hand because automation has never paid for itself.
Months to stand up a framework. Engineers writing Kotlin or Swift instead of the QA specialists who actually know the product. A suite that breaks on every new release, assuming your app even has the stable element identifiers most frameworks require.
So teams automate a handful of flows, watch the backlog grow, and keep the rest on a spreadsheet and a pair of hands.
Meanwhile release velocity keeps climbing across two native codebases. Manual execution can’t keep pace, and everyone in the standup knows it.
What happens in this session
Karim Jouini, CEO and Co-founder of Thunders, builds a working mobile test suite live on stage.
No test IDs. No framework. No scripting.
You’ll watch manual testers author tests in natural language by playing through the app, then see agents run, validate, and self heal those tests across iOS and Android. Nothing is pre baked and nothing is edited out.
What you’ll walk away with
- How to author mobile tests in natural language by playing through the app, with no scripting required
- How to automate apps that were never built to be tested, including ones with no stable element identifiers
- How to build reusable components that hold up across both iOS and Android
- How to hand the lifecycle to agents: execution, validation, self healing, and impact analysis
- How to keep TestRail, Jira, and your CI pipeline in place, and connect Claude, Copilot, or Cursor over MCP
Who should be in the room
Mobile QA leads staring at a coverage gap they can’t hire their way out of. Manual testers who know the product cold and have been told automation isn’t their job. Engineering managers paying for two native codebases and one test suite. Anyone who has tried mobile automation before and quietly shelved it.
- Integrate your new test suite into CI/CD pipelines
- Connect the AI tools you already use (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) directly to your testing environment via Thunders MCP, and author, run, and diagnose tests without leaving your workflow
