Test Mobile Apps Instantly with the Quash Web Playground

The first question anyone asks when evaluating a testing tool is reasonable: does it actually work? The second question, felt more acutely, is: how long before I find out?

With most testing platforms, the answer is measured in hours. Install the SDK. Configure the environment. Connect a device. Set up an account. Work through the onboarding. By the time you've seen the tool do anything real, you've sunk enough time that walking away feels like a sunk cost. Evaluation fatigue is a real phenomenon — and most testing tools exploit it.

The Web Playground collapses that to under 30 seconds.

What Is the Quash Web Playground?

The Quash Web Playground is a live test execution environment at . No account required. No download. No device connection.

Open it in a browser, write a test instruction in plain English, and watch Mahoraga execute it in real time against a pre-loaded mobile app. This is not a product video. It is not a guided walkthrough with a script running behind a demo account. It is the actual Mahoraga execution engine running a real test on a real app, in your browser, on demand.

How Is the Playground Different from a Demo Video?

A demo video shows you what someone else tested, in conditions they controlled, edited to show only the parts that worked. The Playground gives you live execution — you write the prompt, Mahoraga runs it, you see what actually happens. If Mahoraga misinterprets your instruction, you'll see that too. That transparency is part of the point.

How the Mobile Testing Playground Works

The Playground comes pre-loaded with five apps — including Amazon, Swish, and X — ready to test immediately. You type a natural language prompt describing what you want to test. Mahoraga reads the live screen, identifies UI elements, and executes the flow step by step: tapping, scrolling, navigating, entering text, handling any dialogs that appear.

When the run completes, a full execution report is generated — AI-written summary, step-by-step screenshots, pass/fail verdict per step — the same report format produced by every Mahoraga run across the full platform.

You can run up to three complete test flows per session. Custom prompts are fully supported — you're not limited to a scripted demo path. Sessions expire after 15 minutes; signing up is prompted after the first run if you want to save your results. The full experience — from opening the page to reading a completed execution report — takes under two minutes on a typical flow.

Who the Web Playground Is For

For Evaluators and CTOs Doing Due Diligence

A QA lead assessing Quash for their team can see it execute a real test before writing a line of configuration. A CTO doing due diligence gets a self-serve demo — no calendar invite, no sales call required. The Playground answers "show me it works" in the time it takes to open a browser tab.

Most testing tools require you to invest before you see value. The Playground inverts that: you see the value before you've invested anything.

For Teams Already Using Quash

The Playground is a fast way to prototype a new test flow before building it properly in Test Studio. A scratchpad for exploring how Mahoraga interprets different instruction styles without consuming run credits or requiring a connected device. Test your phrasing before you commit it to a suite.

For Onboarding New Team Members

It's the fastest way to explain what intent-based execution means. Don't describe it — hand them the link and let them try it. The concept clicks in thirty seconds of watching Mahoraga navigate a real app from a prompt they wrote themselves.

What the Playground Doesn't Do — And Why That's the Right Call

The Playground is a demonstration environment, not a production one. You can't upload your own APK — the five pre-loaded apps are the available test targets. You can't save test cases to a library, connect your workspace, or build suites. The three-run session limit means it's not a free tier workaround.

These constraints are deliberate. The Playground is designed to show you what Mahoraga does, with zero friction, as quickly as possible. The moment you want to test your own app, save your results, or build a regression suite — that's what the full platform is for. That transition from "I see how this works" to "I want to use this on my app" is the natural next step, and the sign-up flow from the Playground is designed to make it immediate.

The gap between "heard about it" and "saw it work" used to require a guided demo. Now it's a browser tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I test my own app in the Quash Web Playground? Not yet — the Playground runs against five pre-loaded apps. To test your own APK or IPA, you need a Quash account (free tier available with 100 runs/month). The Playground is designed to demonstrate Mahoraga's execution model before you commit to signing up.

Do I need to create an account to use the Web Playground? No. The Playground runs up to three test flows per session with no account required. After your first run, you'll be prompted to sign up if you want to save results or continue beyond the session limit.

Is the Web Playground a real test execution or a simulation? It's real execution. Mahoraga runs live against actual apps — the same execution engine used across the full Quash platform. The results are real execution reports, not simulated output. What you see in the Playground is what you get in production.

What apps are available in the Playground? Five pre-loaded apps including Amazon, Swish, and X. Custom prompts are supported on all of them — you're not limited to pre-written example flows.

How long does a Playground session last? Sessions expire after 15 minutes. You can run up to three complete test flows per session. Signing up for a free account lets you save your results and access the full platform with 100 runs per month.
