Agentic Mobile Test Automation: Why Now?

Ioannis Papadakis

09:00-12:30 CET, Wednesday 4th November

Let me tell you a story around mobility!

Mobile test automation is entering a new architectural era – one where test suites don’t just run scripts, but reason, adapt and self-correct.

This 3-hour advanced tutorial introduces participants to the emerging discipline of Agentic Mobile Test Automation, where Appium-driven execution is guided by intelligent agents capable of orchestrating actions, healing DOM changes, interpreting app context and autonomously navigating test-business flows.

During the session, attendees will learn how to integrate Appium and Maestro with MCP and custom LLM-powered agents to create an automation stack e2e that is resilient, context-aware and capable of executing tests with a balance between AI & I (Intelligence). The tutorial blends hands-on engineering examples, providing a proof on building next-gen QA systems.

By the end of the tutorial, participants will have constructed an end-to-end agentic workflow in which an AI agent:

  • Understands high-level test goals
  • Inspects DOM hierarchy with Appium and/or Maestro
  • Plans next actions
  • Executes mobile interactions
  • Self-heals broken tests
  • Improves observability

Target audience:

Senior QA engineers SDETs, automation architects and engineering leaders who want to understand and implement the next generation of mobile automation systems.
