Natural language AI authoring

Use natural language to generate Appium test cases automatically.

AI authoring lets you write test cases in plain English instead of selectors or code. The AI interprets natural language instructions, generates the automation steps at runtime, and executes them across devices and OS.

This approach helps teams speed up test creation, reduce maintenance, and scale automation with minimal overhead.

Why use AI authoring?

AI authoring addresses common challenges faced by QA teams:

• Cross-platform coverage: Run the same test steps on any Android and iOS devices without changes.
• Save time: QAs spend a lot of their time writing and maintaining tests. AI reduces this by eliminating selectors and waits.
• Reduce flaky tests: Many sessions hit locator issues. AI abstracts away locators to avoid these failures.
• Faster execution: High-level commands such as “Add item to cart and verify total” are executed in one step instead of multiple low-level actions.

How to use AI authoring

Follow these steps to start writing and running tests using natural language authoring:

MutableCapabilities capabilities = new MutableCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("userName", "YOUR_USERNAME");
browserstackOptions.put("accessKey", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");
browserstackOptions.put("aiAuthoring", "true");
capabilities.setCapability("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

var capabilities = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"userName" : "YOUR_USERNAME",
		"accessKey" : "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
		"aiAuthoring" : "true"
	}
}

Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("userName", "YOUR_USERNAME");
browserstackOptions.Add("accessKey", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");
browserstackOptions.Add("aiAuthoring", "true");
capabilities.AddAdditionalOption("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);

$caps = array(
	'bstack:options' => array(
		"userName" => "YOUR_USERNAME",
		"accessKey" => "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
		"aiAuthoring" => "true"
	)
)

desired_cap = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"userName" : "YOUR_USERNAME",
		"accessKey" : "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
		"aiAuthoring" : "true"
	},
}

capabilities = {
	'bstack:options' => {
		"userName" => "YOUR_USERNAME",
		"accessKey" => "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
		"aiAuthoring" => "true"
	}
}

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("userName", "YOUR_USERNAME");
caps.setCapability("accessKey", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");
caps.setCapability("browserstack.aiAuthoring", "true");

var capabilities = {
 "userName" : "YOUR_USERNAME",
 "accessKey" : "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
 "browserstack.aiAuthoring" : "true"
}

DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("userName", "YOUR_USERNAME");
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("accessKey", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY");
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("browserstack.aiAuthoring", "true");

$caps = array(
 "userName" => "YOUR_USERNAME",
 "accessKeyild" => "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
 "browserstack.aiAuthoring" => "true"
);

desired_cap = {
 "userName" : "YOUR_USERNAME",
 "accessKey" : "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
 "browserstack.aiAuthoring" : "true"
}

caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["userName"] = "YOUR_USERNAME"
caps["accessKey"] = "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
caps["browserstack.aiAuthoring"] = "true"

Supported commands

The following table lists all commands which will be supported by our natural language authoring prompts:

Key benefits

• Write tests faster using plain English.
• Reduce maintenance with resilient, locator-free steps.

• Improve execution speed with intent-based commands.

• Reuse the same tests across Android, and iOS without any modification.
