SDET · QA and AI test automation — mobile, web, and the tools behind them. I build automation tooling, test it on real devices, and measure whether its results can be trusted. Seattle, WA · LinkedIn · lanabegunova.com · Medium · YouTube
Mobium: mobile app automation for AI agents and humans. One Go binary drives Android emulators and phones, iOS simulators and iPhones, Fire TV and Apple TV through a CLI, an MCP server, and five language clients.
- Creator and lead maintainer: 167 merged PRs, CI on macOS, Linux and Windows
- Verified on real hardware, not just emulators: most defects I logged showed up only on a real device
- Companion repos: mobium-app, a React Native app under test where every screen is a positive control, and the docs site
Vibium (browser automation for AI agents): 51 issues filed upstream, each with a measured root cause, plus independent regression suites in Python, Java and TypeScript, and for the CLI and MCP server.
AI agents for testing: Claude Code skills for exploratory testing and for hunting hydration races in web UIs, and a course on single- and multi-agent test automation with Playwright, Vibium and Selenium WebDriver BiDi.
- PNSQC 2026: poster paper, Skip the Wrapper: Making a Browser-Automation CLI Faster. I measured five CLI optimizations under fixed semantics; the one that shipped was a packaging change.
