Quash

Mobile app quality assurance often demands significant time and resources, yet critical bugs can still slip through to your users. Quash offers a smarter path forward. It's an AI-powered platform designed to integrate directly into your development lifecycle, helping your team test more thoroughly and release mobile applications with greater confidence. With Quash, you can move faster, reduce manual effort, and catch issues before they impact your users' experience.

Key Features

• 🗺️ Map Your App Automatically: Quash scans your repository, creating a dynamic flowchart of screens, user paths, and interactions. Your QA lead or PM can then refine this visual blueprint, adding context to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the application's structure. This reduces guesswork and establishes a solid foundation for testing.

• 🤖 Generate Tests with AI: As soon as a pull request is opened or a defined trigger runs in your CI/CD pipeline, Quash detects the code changes. Its AI analyzes the differences from the baseline, automatically generates targeted test cases, and produces the necessary Appium scripts for execution. This ensures relevant testing happens promptly with every update.

• ☁️ Execute on Real Devices: Validate your app's performance where it matters most – on actual hardware. Quash integrates seamlessly with popular cloud device farms (like BrowserStack or LambdaTest), allowing you to run tests across diverse devices and operating system versions, catching device-specific issues early.

• 📊 Consolidate Actionable Reports: Forget scattered results. Quash compiles detailed reports—including screenshots, session replays, crash logs, root cause analysis (RCA), and API insights—into one intuitive dashboard. You can also have results posted directly to your Git PRs, Slack channels, or CI/CD logs, bringing actionable data right into your team's existing workflow.

• 🖐️ Enhance with Manual Insights (Quash Report): Automation is powerful, but human insight remains crucial. Quash Report, our open-source tool, features a 'Shake to Report' function. Testers can instantly flag bugs directly from the device, and the report automatically includes rich context like session replays, logs, and even AI-driven fix suggestions, complementing your automated testing efforts.

Use Cases

1. Streamlining Pre-Merge Checks: A developer finishes work on a new user profile feature and opens a pull request. Quash Automate immediately analyzes the code changes, generates specific tests for the updated profile screens and interactions, runs them on selected Android and iOS devices via a connected device farm, and posts a summary report directly to the PR. The developer quickly sees that a specific input field fails on an older iOS version and fixes it before merging, preventing a bug from reaching the main branch.

2. Efficient Bug Reporting During UAT: During user acceptance testing, a stakeholder encounters an intermittent crash when uploading a photo. Instead of trying to manually reproduce and document the steps, they simply shake the device. Quash Report captures the session recording, device logs, network calls, and crash details automatically. The resulting ticket, filed directly into Jira, includes AI suggestions pointing towards a potential memory leak, significantly speeding up the debugging process for the development team.

3. Gaining Release Confidence: As the release deadline approaches, the QA Lead needs to assess overall application stability. They review the Quash dashboard, which shows trends from recent automated test runs across hundreds of test cases covering regression suites and new features. They cross-reference this with the critical bugs flagged via Quash Report during manual testing. This unified view, combining automated coverage data with detailed manual reports (including RCA), gives them the confidence to approve the release or pinpoint specific areas needing last-minute attention.

Conclusion

Quash is designed to bridge the gap between the demand for rapid development cycles and the necessity for high-quality, reliable mobile applications. By integrating intelligent test generation, real-device execution, comprehensive reporting, and efficient manual feedback loops directly into your existing development practices, Quash helps your team save significant time and resources. Teams using Quash have reported benefits like 5X faster test cycles and an 85% reduction in testing costs, allowing them to ship features faster and with greater confidence.
