QualGent
AI Mobile App Quality Assurance Tester
QualGent is an AI Mobile App Quality Assurance Tester that mimics a real human, helping teams catch bugs and ship faster - without hiring more QA testers. One customer reached #3 in the Education category on the App Store by improving app quality with QualGent.
Mobile bugs hurt: crashes kill ratings, broken checkouts drive churn. QualGent helps teams scale QA effortlessly and avoid Sonos-level disasters.
The idea for QualGent was born from the founders’ experience leading engineering teams at Google across Android XR, Stadia, Quick Share, and foldable devices where shipping to billions of users meant constantly facing the painful trade-off between moving fast and maintaining quality. With prior research experience at Nvidia, Maryland, and Berkeley, the team saw a clear opportunity: use AI to scale QA.
QualGent’s vision is to close the loop on software creation. As AI enables engineers to code 100x faster, QualGent eliminates the next bottleneck—software verification—unlocking truly scalable, end-to-end software development.
Active Founders
Founder
CEO at QualGent, ex-Googler in AI, XR and Android
Shivam is a customer-obsessed engineer who spent 5 years at Google building AI products, visual interfaces, and frameworks. He led Android XR’s 3D system UI, shipping it in one-fifth the time it took Apple to launch VisionOS, and built the team’s most-used tool - a C++ simulator that 10x-ed developer velocity. Recognized as the fastest executor on the team, he left to fix the biggest bottleneck he faced firsthand: mobile QA.

The V3 upgrades:
🚀 Instant Self-Serve: No waitlists. Sign up, upload your app, write tests in plain English and run 1000s of parallel tests today.
⚡ Parallel Cloud Scale: Run your entire regression suite on thousands of real devices and emulators concurrently. What used to take your QA team 3 days now takes your AI workforce 30 minutes.
🔗 Deep Workflow Integration
- Native integrations for GitHub CI/CD, Slack, and Linear. Bugs go straight to your issue tracker; results go straight to your team.
- Developer APIs: Complete control. Customize your automation workflow for uploads, triggers, and reporting via our new API.
📱 Total Coverage
- Landscape & Tablets: We’ve unlocked landscape testing across tablets and mobile browsers. Any device. Any orientation.
- Multi-Account Magic: New Credential Management handles login rotations seamlessly for multi-user testing.
🔓 Enterprise Control
- Smart Dashboard: Track every test by app build. See exactly which commit caused the regression.
- Bulk Runs: Use Category Tagging to trigger specific suites (e.g., "Smoke," "Checkout," "Payments") instantly.
🧠 Self-Learning & Self-Generating
- Agentic memory: Our AI agents don't just execute; they now learn. With memory layers, v3 remembers past interactions, learning from every bug and successful flow to get smarter with every run.
- AI Test Creation Agent: Don't just automate execution; automate creation. Our agent writes the test cases for you based on the context it learns about your app.
With QualGent V3, we’ve moved beyond testing automation, this is testing orchestration. Legacy QA automation is technical debt. QualGent V3 is technical leverage. Stop testing manually and maintaining brittle test scripts. Start commanding an autonomous AI QA workforce.
