# Droid Mobile Testing Overview

Droid CUA is Loadmill's AI-powered desktop app for mobile and web testing.

It helps you create, run, and manage tests for Android devices and emulators, iOS simulators on macOS, cloud mobile devices, and browser flows. Instead of writing traditional automation code with selectors and locators, you describe the user flow in natural language and let the agent operate the app from the screen, the same way a person would.

With Droid CUA you can:

* Connect to a real Android device, Android emulator, iOS simulator, cloud mobile device, or browser.
* Create mobile and web tests from plain-English instructions.
* Watch the agent execute each action with live logs.
* Save reusable `.dcua` test scripts.
* Run saved tests again from the desktop app or the CLI.
* Use local reports and the shared Droid Runs dashboard to review what happened.

## How it helps

Droid CUA is useful when you want to validate real mobile flows without spending time building and maintaining fragile selector-based scripts.

For example, you can ask the agent to sign in, search for an item, add it to the cart, submit a form, or verify that a confirmation screen is visible. Droid CUA captures the device screen, sends the screen and your instructions to the AI model, receives an action such as tap, scroll, type, or wait, and executes that action on the device.

The result is a test workflow that is easier to draft, easier to understand, and closer to how a real user interacts with your app.
