Automating E2E Black-Box Testing for Games and Apps

Our new AI agents test games and apps by interacting with them like a human player would, no SDK or code changes required. Upload your build, define test scenarios, and get automated testing results within hours. Perfect for mobile games, apps, and UI testing on PC or console.

Automating E2E Black-Box Testing for Games and Apps

Executive Summary

Our AI-powered testing agent enables studios to automate end-to-end testing without any code integration. The agent interacts with your game or app exactly like a human player would—by observing the screen and performing touch or click actions. This approach eliminates integration barriers while delivering immediate testing value. For advanced use cases, optional SDK integration remains available to enhance capabilities.

Zero-Integration Testing: How It Works

Black-box testing with our platform requires minimal setup—often completed during a single onboarding call. The process is straightforward:

1. Upload your build to our platform

2. Define test scenarios using natural language

3. Run automated tests while you can perform other tasks

4. Review detailed reports with video recordings, logs, and issue annotations


You can start testing immediately and evaluate results before deciding whether to integrate our SDK for additional capabilities or connect to your CI/CD pipeline.

Which Games Fit Black-Box Best?

Our black-box approach excels in 2D or largely static interfaces that rely on simple actions like tapping or clicking. In practice, this includes many mobile games, apps and UI testing for PC/console flows. Examples:

  • General UI navigation (mobile apps, game menus, PC applications)
  • Casino games (e.g., Slots, Bingo, Poker, Blackjack, Roulette)
  • Hyper-casual titles (e.g., Monopoly GO, Hay Day, Candy Crush)
  • 2D games with simple interactions (e.g., Clash of Clans, Royal Match, Solitaire)

By contrast, games that demand fine-grained, time-sensitive control typically do require SDK integration. Examples:

  • Racing and fighting games (e.g., Need for Speed, Super Smash Bros.)
  • 2.5D or 3D games (e.g., Hogwarts Legacy, Stormforge, Brawl Stars)
  • Highly time-critical titles (e.g., Geometry Dash, Osu!, Subway Surfers)
  • Generally difficult or high-APM games (e.g., Dark Souls, League of Legends)

Rule of thumb: If your grandmother can play it without help, so can we. 😉
