Operio vs Maestro

Maestro steps through the YAML flow you wrote, command by command. Operio is an agentic testing platform: an AI agent that understands your app while it tests it, on cloud iOS simulators and Android emulators and on the web, from a journey in plain English.

The same journey, two ways

Maestro replays a script. Operio understands the journey.

A Maestro test does exactly what you coded, in the order you coded it, and stops the moment your app doesn't match. Operio's agent reads each screen as it tests, decides the next action toward the goal, checks every outcome the way a person would, and tells you why something failed.

Why teams choose Operio

Why an agent beats a script

  • 01

    An agent that understands your app

    Operio doesn't replay recorded clicks. It reads each screen while it tests, works toward the goal of the journey and judges the result in context, so a test checks what a user would actually notice.

  • 02

    Plain English instead of YAML

    No commands, IDs or coordinates. Each step says what a user does, and the agent finds it on the screen.

  • 03

    Cloud devices included

    Upload a Simulator build or an APK and Operio runs it on cloud devices. There's nothing to install or keep running.

  • 04

    One place for mobile and web

    Your iOS, Android and web journeys live in the same project, with the same steps, schedules and alerts.

  • 05

    An agent that explores on its own

    Give it a goal and it explores the app, checks each area and reports the bugs it finds, with a recording.
