What is Kapptivate

Kapptivate is a test automation platform for web, mobile, API, and cellular (SIM) applications. Author a test once and reuse it across the whole delivery lifecycle, non-regression, go-live, CI/CD, and continuous production supervision, on real devices running on-premise.

Three things Kapptivate does

Test

Author end-to-end tests for web, smartphone, API, and cellular channels using a visual builder, a live recorder, and an action catalog of 30+ step types.

Run

Execute tests on demand, in a suite, or from your CI/CD pipeline. Every run produces a detailed result with screenshots, video, steps, and metrics.

Monitor

Promote a test to a monitor to run continuously in production. Track availability, get alerted on failures, and explore incidents and dashboards.

One test, whole lifecycle

Most platforms force you to keep separate test suites for QA, CI, and production monitoring. Kapptivate unifies them: a test you author in the builder is the same test that runs in your pipeline and the same test that supervises production.

Author

Build a test in the visual builder or record actions in a Live session on a real device.

Run

Execute the test on demand, group it into a suite, or trigger it from CI/CD via API keys.

Monitor

Promote the working test to a Monitor: it runs on a schedule, raises Incidents, and feeds dashboards.

Why Kapptivate

Real devices, on-premise. Agents, SIMs, smartphones, web endpoints, and the combined "robot digital", are installed inside your network so tests reflect what your users actually experience.

Cellular-native testing. Run cellular tests on real SIM cards over real carrier networks, including USSD menus and SMS flows. Few platforms cover this; Kapptivate is built for it.

AI-assisted authoring. Smart selectors find elements when the DOM changes. AI steps handle visual asserts, spell checks, and one-time codes from email or SMS. See AI in Kapptivate.

Unified results. Manual runs, automated executions, and continuous monitors all produce the same kind of result, screenshots, step logs, timing, and variables, so analysis stays consistent across the lifecycle.

Variables and environments. Parameterize tests once and run them against any environment (dev, staging, prod) by switching a variable group.

Channels

Web

Browser automation with configurable browser presets: user agent, language, window size, headers, cookies, and proxy.

API (HTTP)

Test REST and HTTP services with API steps inside your web and smartphone tests: methods (GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE), custom headers, JSON or raw bodies, response assertions, variable extraction, and per-request timing breakdown.

Smartphone

Native app testing on real Android and iOS devices with full access to taps, gestures, keyboard, and device properties.

Cellular (SIM)

Tests run on physical SIMs, data, USSD flows, and SMS, over real cellular networks.

Use cases

Pre-production non-regression: run scripted tests against a staging environment before every release to catch breakage.
Go-live validation: execute a launch checklist as a test suite to confirm the system is ready in production.
CI/CD pipeline checks: trigger Kapptivate from your pipeline via API keys and gate deployments on test results.
24/7 production supervision: turn critical journeys into monitors that run on a schedule and alert on failure.
Multi-channel coverage: validate flows that span web, mobile, USSD, and SMS in a single platform.

Who it's for

QA and test teams who want one automated test to cover every phase, instead of maintaining parallel suites.

DevOps and SRE teams who want test execution wired into CI/CD and production monitoring with consistent results.

Telco-adjacent businesses (banks, mobile operators, fintech) whose user journeys cross web, mobile, USSD, and SMS, and need real-SIM testing to validate them.
