noqa works directly with your development setup. The agent can connect to any local device or simulator where your build is already installed — including apps running via Expo — and start executing tests immediately. This means you don’t need to export a build or upload anything. If the app is running on your device or simulator, the agent can test it.

​
Local simulator

Run your app in the iOS Simulator or Android Emulator as usual, then point noqa at it. The agent will interact with whatever is on screen — useful for quickly validating a feature or catching a regression before committing.

​
Expo

If you’re developing with Expo, you can run your app via Expo Go or a development build and test it with noqa directly — no separate build step required.

​
Fast iteration

Since you’re testing against a live development build, you can fix an issue, reload the app, and run the test again immediately. This makes noqa useful not just for CI/CD but as part of your everyday development workflow.
