Using AI to Expedite Real-World Hands-On System Test

Semi-automated system test harness for mobile testing. JotBunker as the case study: 17 scenarios in 45 minutes.

JotBunker syncs across two apps: phone and computer. End-to-end encrypted, peer-to-peer, three-way merge engine. Lots of edge cases. Tombstones, last-write-wins, category renames, divergence gates, restore-from-backup paths. Every build gets over 200 unit tests run against it automatically. That’s great for regression and sanity checking. But for real world system testing, test cases would require a lot of manual setup work. I don’t want to manually add 600 list and scratchpad items just for one edge case test.
