Create an AI agent for mobile app automated testing in 7 minutes

A ready-to-use Python script with Appium and pytest: runs test scenarios, captures error screenshots, and generates an HTML report

  1. 1.Open chatgpt.com and start a new chat. The free plan is enough.

    Do not send internal API keys, tokens, or app passwords into the chat - ChatGPT processes data on its own servers.

  2. 2.Paste the prompt below. Replace [APP_NAME] with the app name (e.g., Calculator), [PLATFORM] with android or ios, [APP_FILE] with the path to the app file (.apk or .ipa), and [SCENARIOS] with 2-3 scenarios in Russian or English, for example: «user opens the login screen, enters username and password, taps Login, sees the home screen».

    The more detailed each scenario step, the more accurate the test script will be.

    Prompt
    You are a senior mobile QA automation engineer. Create a complete Python test agent using Appium and pytest for the following:
    
    App: [APP_NAME]
    Platform: [PLATFORM]
    App file path: [APP_FILE]
    
    Test scenarios:
    [SCENARIOS]
    
    Deliverables:
    1. conftest.py with pytest fixtures - driver setup/teardown, desired capabilities
    2. test_app.py with one test function per scenario - use WebDriverWait, assertions, try/except
    3. Screenshot capture on test failure saved to ./screenshots/
    4. requirements.txt with all dependencies
    5. Step-by-step run instructions for a beginner
    
    Use Python 3.10+ syntax. Add inline comments in English.
    What this prompt doesThe prompt is in English: it asks ChatGPT to build a complete test agent - multiple Python files using Appium and pytest, with screenshots on failures. Replace the bracketed fields with your app data and test scenarios.
  3. 3.Copy each generated file (conftest.py, test_app.py, requirements.txt) into a new project folder on your computer.

    ChatGPT outputs each file as a separate code block - copy them one by one.

  4. 4.Open a terminal in the project folder and run: pip install -r requirements.txt. In a separate terminal window, install and start Appium Server: npm install -g appium, then appium.

    You need Python 3.10+ and Node.js 18+ installed. For Android - Android Studio with an emulator. For iOS - Xcode with Simulator (macOS only).

  5. 5.Run the tests with the command pytest test_app.py -v. Once finished, open the report file in your browser.

    If tests fail with a connection error, make sure Appium Server is running and the emulator or device is connected. You can paste the error text back into ChatGPT and ask «How to fix this?»
