Agentic Test Automation for Web & Mobile Apps

AI-powered test automation that maintains application integrity across every layer of your stack

So long, selectors

Application integrity starts with tests that mirror reality, not tests that break the moment your UI shifts. SmartBear Reflect uses AI to instantly turn your plain-English test steps into automated actions with no coding required.

Unlike tools that depend on fragile selectors or locators, Reflect adapts to shifts in your app automatically. That means your tests keep working even when your UI changes.

Build tests at the speed of thought

Using Reflect, testers can build end-to-end tests 10x faster than with code-based frameworks.

Testing that keeps pace with AI development

AI development creates more code, more complexity, and more risk. Reflect gives your team the automation to scale coverage, cut maintenance, and maintain application integrity at every release.

The Conventional Approach Testing with Reflect
Automation engineers spend months building a custom framework on top of an open-source library. Functional Testers build regression tests significantly faster than even the most seasoned automation engineer, with no setup required.
Test coverage plateaus as most of the testing effort shifts to maintaining the existing test suite. Reflect's AI engine does the heavy lifting around maintenance, freeing up time for additional test creation and ad-hoc testing.
Tests for new features are built multiple sprints behind development, or not at all. Testing is no longer the bottleneck in the development process.
Flaky tests cause developers to have low confidence that test failures point to real defects. When bugs occur, developers are armed with comprehensive repro steps, an HD video demonstrating the bug, and complete console/network logs.

Maximize test coverage, minimize manual effort

Everything you need to achieve at least 80% functional test coverage

Frequently asked questions about Reflect

What is Reflect?

SmartBear Reflect is an AI-powered test automation platform that helps teams maintain end-to-end application integrity across web and mobile applications. It uses generative AI and vision-based AI to create, run, and maintain UI and API tests automatically – so your application works exactly as intended, every release.

How does Reflect use AI to automate testing?

Reflect uses SmartBear AI at every stage of the testing lifecycle. Testers can create tests by recording actions in a browser, writing plain-English prompts, or with agents that slot directly into your development workflow through the MCP server. Visual object detection replaces brittle code-based locators, so tests adapt automatically when your UI shifts. Self-healing detects when elements change and updates tests without manual intervention.

What types of applications can Reflect test?

Reflect supports UI and API testing for web and mobile applications from a single platform. It runs tests on native real devices for mobile – not emulators – and supports multimodal flows that span web, mobile, MFA, and localization in a single workflow. Reflect also tests cloud-based enterprise packaged applications including SAP and Salesforce without requiring additional plug-ins or complex environment setup.

Does Reflect require coding skills?

No coding skills are required. Testers, product owners, manual testers, and business analysts can all create automated tests using record-and-play in a cloud browser or by entering plain-English prompts. This democratizes test automation across the team, freeing skilled testers to focus on higher-judgment work that requires human insight rather than spending time on test creation and maintenance.

Does Reflect integrate with CI/CD and test management tools?

Reflect integrates with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, GitLab, Bitbucket, Heroku, and TravisCI for CI/CD pipeline automation. It integrates natively with Zephyr and QMetry for test management, connecting automated results directly to your system of record without requiring additional point solutions.
