Automated: on every change
Your builder’s testing, scanners and automated tests catch what broke in flows you already described. Run them after every change.
MANUAL VS AUTOMATED TESTING
Manual vs automated testing.
Automated tests and AI self-testing check what someone wrote down; manual testing finds what nobody thought to check. For an app built with AI, use both: let your builder’s AI and scanners catch the obvious, then have a person go through sign-up, payments, roles and a real phone before launch.
Bug testing — $299 for one platform. No bug found — 100% back.See a sample reportCOMPARISONWho tests what.

What each way of testing covers in an app built with AI.
| piperlink QA team | AI testing in the builder | Automated scanners | A freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who tests | An independent person | The AI that wrote the code | A script | Depends on the person |
| Sign-in, roles, other users’ data | All roles, up to three | In Lovable: only pages without sign-in if you use your own Supabase or another login provider¹ | Partly: known security patterns | Depends on the person |
| Payments end to end | Yes, with a test card | Not described in the docs¹ | No | Depends on the person |
| Real phones | A real iPhone or Android phone | Phone, tablet or desktop sizes in a browser, not a real phone¹ | No | Depends on the person |
| Things you didn’t ask about | Yes | Mostly what you or the AI decide to check | Known patterns only | Sometimes |
| The result | A report: priority, steps, screenshot, AI prompt | A summary with screenshots in the chat¹ | A list of findings | Varies |
| Retest of your fixes | 14 days included | Run it again | Scan again | Usually a new order |
¹ As Lovable’s browser testing documentation says (checked October 16, 2026). Other builders differ; check their docs.
WHEN TO USE WHICHNot either-or.
Not either-or.
Both, in order.
Automation is fast and repeatable; people notice what was never written down.
Manual: before launch and big releases
A person goes through sign-up, payments, roles, e-mails and a real phone, and finds what no test describes yet.
Then automate what broke
Every bug a person finds can become a test. Our report gives each bug a ready AI prompt — ask it for a fix and a test.

QUESTIONSFrequent
Frequent
questions.
Is manual testing outdated?
No. Automation repeats known checks quickly; it does not notice a confusing step, a broken e-mail or another customer’s data unless someone wrote a test for it. Before launch, a person finds what customers would hit first.
Do you use automation too?
Yes. Automated tests and AI are our tools; every bug in the report was found and checked by a person, on a real computer and phone.
Should I write automated tests for my AI-built app?
Once the main flows are stable and you release often — yes, starting with the flows that already broke once. Before the first launch, a manual pass usually finds more of what customers would run into.
How much does your manual testing cost?
Fixed prices: bug testing $299 per platform, bugs + vulnerabilities $499, a subscription of 4 tests for $399 per 30 days. No bug found — 100% back.
