Minitap

Minitap is a San Francisco-based AI startup that is redefining the entire concept of mobile and web QA with its fully autonomous testing agent, miniTest. Forget everything you know about brittle, script-based testing tools that break the moment your UI changes. Minitap builds an AI-powered agent that connects directly to your codebase, product specs, and tickets, understands your app like a human would, and then autonomously maps out every single user flow. The result? A complete, self-healing test suite that requires zero authoring and zero maintenance from your engineering team. When a PR lands or a new build drops, miniTest runs a full regression report in about an hour, testing real user interactions instead of fragile selectors. It covers iOS, Android, and web from a single, unified platform, making it the ultimate weapon for fast-growing engineering teams that want to ship at AI speed without getting bogged down by manual QA or flaky scripts. Minitap is built for teams that are tired of spending 40% of their sprint on testing and maintenance. It has already hit number one globally on the AndroidWorld benchmark, proving its unmatched reliability and intelligence. Backed by the founders of Hugging Face, Adjust, and OpenAI executives, and with over 100 million people using apps tested by mini, Minitap is not just a tool; it is the future of autonomous quality assurance.

Emulated User Testing

miniTest tests whether real users can actually achieve their goals on your product, not just whether a script can find a CSS selector. It runs the highest-fidelity mobile tests possible, simulating interactions that are as close to a human's experience as you can get, including AI features that traditional scripts can't even reach. The key is that these tests survive any refactor. You can completely rewrite your UI, change your architecture, or update your design system, and miniTest will still know how to sign in, make a payment, or navigate your app. This is zero-authoring, zero-maintenance testing that actually works.

Self-Healing Tests

Your app evolves, and so does miniTest. As you ship new features, the agent automatically understands the changes and updates your critical user flows to stay current. There are no brittle scripts to write or maintain, and no late-night fire drills because a button ID changed. miniTest operates on outcome-based intent, not brittle selectors. It knows what the user wants to accomplish, and it figures out how to do it regardless of how the UI is rendered. The entire test suite updates itself dynamically as your app changes, ensuring you always have a safety net without any human intervention.

Maximum Issue Detection

Minitap doesn't just check for basic functional breaks; it surfaces the issues your users would actually hit in the real world. This includes functional breaks, UX regressions, and even failures in AI-powered features that scripts cannot assert against. It works across iOS, Android, and web, providing full runtime logs for every test run. miniTest asserts on the rendered UI, just like a user would, catching things like unresponsive taps, memory spikes, contrast issues below WCAG AA standards, and backend timeouts. It finds the nasty bugs that slip through traditional unit and integration tests.

Triage and Fix

When a test fails, Minitap doesn't just tell you something is broken; it arrives with the fix already half-written. Every failure ships with a full session replay, detailed logs, exact repro steps, and a ready-to-use fix prompt that works with Cursor or Claude. This eliminates the dreaded "can't reproduce" excuse that stalls development. The agent provides the context, the expected versus actual behavior, and a clear path to resolution. It turns a failed test from a blocker into a quick, actionable task that your engineers can resolve in minutes, not hours.

Continuous Regression Testing for Fast-Moving Teams

For engineering teams shipping multiple times a day, manual regression testing is a bottleneck that kills velocity. Minitap automates this entirely. After every PR merge or new build, miniTest automatically runs a full regression suite across your entire app, covering every critical user flow. It delivers a comprehensive report in about an hour, catching regressions before they hit production. This allows teams to maintain a high shipping cadence without sacrificing quality, turning QA from a gatekeeper into a seamless part of the CI/CD pipeline.

Testing AI-Powered Features That Scripts Can't Reach

Modern apps are full of dynamic, AI-driven features like personalized recommendations, chatbots, and generative UI elements. Traditional testing tools like Appium or Maestro fail here because they rely on static selectors and predefined assertions. Minitap is built for this new world. It can test whether a user can successfully interact with an AI feature, whether a recommendation engine returns relevant results, or whether a generative interface renders correctly. It treats the app like a human would, making it the only viable solution for testing the next generation of software.

Zero-Maintenance QA for Resource-Constrained Startups

Startups often lack dedicated QA engineers, forcing developers to spend valuable time writing and maintaining flaky test scripts. Minitap eliminates this overhead entirely. By connecting directly to your codebase and product specs, it builds and maintains the entire test suite autonomously. There is no scripting, no selector updates, and no maintenance burden. This frees up engineering resources to focus on building features and shipping product, while still ensuring a high-quality user experience. It is the ultimate force multiplier for lean teams.

Cross-Platform Validation for Mobile-First Products

Companies that ship on iOS, Android, and the web face the nightmare of maintaining separate test suites for each platform. Minitap solves this with a single, unified testing agent that covers all three. It tests the same user flows across every platform, ensuring a consistent and bug-free experience regardless of the device or operating system. This drastically reduces the complexity and cost of QA for mobile-first products, allowing teams to ship with confidence across the entire digital ecosystem.

How does Minitap differ from traditional testing tools like Appium or Maestro?

Traditional tools rely on brittle, script-based selectors that break with every UI change, requiring constant manual maintenance. Minitap is an autonomous AI agent that understands your app's intent, not its selectors. It connects to your codebase and product specs, maps every user flow, and tests real user interactions. It is self-healing, meaning it automatically updates as your app evolves, requiring zero authoring and zero maintenance from your team.

Does Minitap work with both native mobile apps and web applications?

Yes. Minitap is a cross-platform solution that covers iOS, Android, and web applications from a single, unified platform. You can test the same user flows across all three environments, ensuring a consistent experience for your users regardless of the device or browser they are using. This eliminates the need to manage separate testing tools and scripts for each platform.

How long does it take to get a full regression report?

Minitap is designed for speed. It can deliver a comprehensive full regression report in approximately one hour. This allows fast-moving engineering teams to get rapid feedback on their changes and ship with confidence without waiting days for a manual QA cycle. The agent runs tests in parallel and provides results with full session replays and logs.

What happens when a test fails?

When a test fails, Minitap provides a complete triage package to help you fix the issue quickly. This includes a full session replay of the failed test, detailed runtime logs, exact repro steps, and a ready-to-use fix prompt that is compatible with AI coding assistants like Cursor and Claude. This eliminates the time wasted on reproducing bugs and gives your engineers a clear path to resolution.
