Lucra Taps Autosana to Turbocharge QA with AI
How Lucra Uses Autosana to Automate UI Testing and Accelerate QA
NEW YORK, NY, August 5, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Lucra, opens new tab, the leading provider of social gamification technology, today announced a strategic partnership with Autosana, opens new tab, a platform for AI-powered UI testing, as part of Lucra’s broader efforts to integrate AI thoughtfully and selectively across its product development pipeline.
Initial results from the pilot are already driving meaningful impact: Lucra has significantly reduced the manual workload required to validate product releases—freeing up engineering and quality assurance resources while increasing overall test coverage.
“With over 15 years in mobile development, I’ve seen firsthand how painful and time-consuming UI testing can be—especially for end-to-end flows,” said Michael Schmidt, CTO of Lucra. “Autosana is a game changer. It’s the first solution I’ve used that makes robust, automated UI testing truly accessible. We were able to automate the majority of our regression suite in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months, and the self-healing capabilities mean we spend far less time maintaining brittle tests. It’s saved our team countless hours already and fundamentally changed how we approach QA.”
Lucra’s current regression suite includes over 250 manual test steps, requiring 1–2 hours of effort for each full run. In under 15 hours of work, the team has already automated approximately 70% of these steps using natural language instructions. Compared to the months of setup required for traditional UI test scripting—work that previously consumed nearly a full-time engineer—the return on investment has been immediate.
Autosana’s self-healing architecture has eliminated the brittleness of legacy UI testing frameworks. As Lucra continues to expand test coverage, the QA team is now able to focus more on feature validation and bug identification—while overnight test cycles handle regression automatically.
This partnership is part of Lucra’s deliberate approach to AI—investing in purpose-built tools that deliver real operational value while continuing to build proprietary systems internally. By combining thoughtful external integrations with in-house innovation, Lucra remains committed to delivering best-in-class technology to its partners and users.
