Anyone been able to successfully build ffmpeg from source to include whip support? Struggling to figure out the right ./configure options

100% - here are some of Maestro's AI-powered commands:

* https://docs.maestro.dev/api-reference/commands/assertwithai

* https://docs.maestro.dev/api-reference/commands/extracttextw...

Main difference is that Maestro takes a reliable-by-default approach. We hear plenty of stories of folks exploring tools like the ones you mentioned, then ultimately coming back to Maestro due to reliability / reproducibility issues, which are non-negotiable when it comes to end to end testing

We've found that YAML encourages maintainable testing practices. But when you need to fire off a network requests, add custom logic, Maestro does have javascript support: https://docs.maestro.dev/advanced/javascript/run-javascript

Very sophisticated companies like DoorDash and Kraken have written and maintain hundreds of Maestro tests using this approach!

Co-author of Maestro here - really appreciate that support jztan! If you get a chance you should also try out web support which we recently released! And always open to feedback, so please let me know if there's anything you think can be improved!

There was a good thread on reddit a while back on this topic. Post was simply a request for opinions on Appium, but virtually everyone ended up recommending Maestro instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/QualityAssurance/comments/1771ca7/o...

Honestly, I'd just give it a try yourself - you can get started in minutes

Re:Maestro – Next Generation Mobile UI Automation on Saturday March 01, 2025 @12:55PM (#43221705)
In the works - stay tuned!
Re:Maestro – Next Generation Mobile UI Automation on Saturday March 01, 2025 @12:55PM (#43221700)
Yep free and open-source to use. Plenty of folks run Maestro on directly on GitHub Actions, Bitrise, etc. Teams often run on our hosted cloud infra for parallelism and reliability when scaling up their testing, but that's totally up to you!

Hey tibbe - co-founder of Mobile.dev here. First off, totally get where you're coming from. We do offer a startup discount, but would love to dig in more to see if there's something we can work out. My co-founder and I would love to chat if you're open to it! Just shoot me a note if interested! [email protected]

Hi everyone, co-founder of Mobile.dev and co-author of Maestro here . Thanks jstan for sharing Maestro and for the kind words—really glad to hear it’s working well for you!

We built Maestro because E2E testing felt unnecessarily complicated, and we wanted something simple and powerful that anyone could use — whether you’re a seasoned developer or just getting started with automation. It’s been amazing to see it adopted at companies like Meta, Block, DoorDash, Stripe, and Disney, but honestly, what excites us most is seeing teams who’ve never done test automation before finally get a solid strategy in place because Maestro is so easy to use and get started with.

Oh, and if you’re wondering — yes, it works for web testing too!

We’re constantly iterating and adding features, so if you’ve got ideas, run into issues, or just want to chat, let me know. Always happy to hear how we can make it better.

Thanks again for checking it out, and happy testing!
