SmartBear Reflect

What is SmartBear Reflect?

SmartBear Reflect is a codeless test automation platform where testers describe steps in plain English and AI turns them into automated actions, instead of relying on brittle selectors or locators. You record a test in a cloud browser session, edit or re-record steps, and run it across Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. Reflect also covers native mobile apps on real devices, standalone API tests, visual testing, and email and SMS flows such as two-factor sign-ups. Every run produces an HD video synced to the steps along with console and network logs, so developers get reproducible bug reports. Tests can be started from CI/CD tools, scheduled hourly to monthly, and sent to Slack or issue trackers; the SmartBear MCP lets AI coding tools create tests. Plans are Premium, Advanced and Enterprise with 5,000, 20,000 and 40,000 credits a month, priced through sales, after a 14-day free trial.
