AI testing won't die anytime soon and this proves it

I've been doing freelance mobile dev for about 2 years and testing has always been the part I half ass because I'm usually the only person on the project.

Found this testing agent yesterday from another reddit post that was giving free credits to run your first couple of test cases. I wasn't going to use it on client work without seeing it handle something real first so I tried it on strava an app I use daily and it has a massive user base and actual complex flows. The intent I typed was:

"Open the Strava App. Go to the Record window, select Run as the activity and start recording. Tap on Lap to record one lap, then pause and finish the activity. Finally, name the activity and save it."

That's a multi step flow crossing tab navigation, activity type selection, recording state machine transitions, its not a simple open and tap test.

It opened Strava, found the record tab, verified it was on the right screen, selected run, tapped start, recorded a lap, paused, finished, named the activity and saved it. Each step shows the Al's reasoning like what it sees on screen, what it thinks it should do and what action it takes. It's reading the Ul the way you would if someone handed you a phone and said go record a run on strava without accessibility IDs or xpaths just pure screen level inference.

Now I'm thinking about what this looks like on actual client apps where I'm currently spending 2 to 3 hours manually tapping through flows before every release.

Built a trading app where you dont kyc to deposit, crypto works today, card and apple pay coming next, want feedback

Been building this for a while, you can trade tokenized us stocks and etfs and gold with usdc, attached the deposit screen because thats where most trading apps hit you with the drivers license and selfie upload, we skip that entirely.

crypto deposits work right now, google pay apple pay and card are landing soon, no kyc on any of them.

looking for people who will actually use it and tell me where it breaks, not the polite "looks cool" kind of feedback but the honest "this part sucks and heres why" kind....

would love to know about everything about it

Thanks in advance.....

I had 68% in my 12th and LPU was my only option.

I don't even know why I'm writing this now but I think I just need to vent it out because honestly I was scared that they'd take the joining letter back but now that I've signed everything and the joining date is set, I need to get this out.

BTech CSE, got placed a couple months back, 13.5 LPA and it's not the highest in my batch but for a guy who picked cse at LPU because JEE didn't go well even after 2 attempts and state counselling gave me a branch I didn't want, this is cloud9.

I'm not going to sit here and say LPU made me but if I'm being honest if I had picked some other branch or a uni, I don't know where I'd be right now but this version of me only exists because of what happened in the last 4 years.

Half the syllabus I learned from yt and g4g and some profs are genuinely good and there was a senior who ran an informal coding group in the hostel and that's where I got the DSA foundation from lol, but the thing is you're surrounded by people who are trying, bhai it's crazy and some are just goated at CP and many are building startups from their hostel rooms and that energy rubs off whether you want it or not.

Placement season was tough for me, I failed my first mock interview so bad the panel gave me a pity smile then I went ahead and failed 4 company interviews. My roommate got placed in a week and I was happy for him really but that night I went for a walk alone around the campus and that walk happened a lot over the next 3 weeks.

Fifth company was the one for me where the technical round went okayish and the hr round went 40 minutes. 13.5 lakhs is a good amount for someone who thought life was over after 12th results and because no one in my family has started at anything close, I just told him the monthly number, he went quiet for a second and then said "chal kuch khate hain."

God is good.

I built this for traders who care about what happens after the signal fires.

I'm building GM Markets, it's an infra which lets people outside the US buy fractional US stocks and commodities using stablecoins.

You deposit USDC or USDT from your wallet and buy what you want and hold it as a token backed 1:1 by real shares at a regulated US broker. Proof of reserves is on chain, the spreads 0.10 to 0.20 percent and gas handled by us plus we will also add card and apple pay soon enough for non crypto users.

Our first results are strong and we're looking for traders to give us a genuine feedback.

I'm looking for brutally honest feedback on this, something that will help us get ready for the big leagues.

Thanks in advance!
