Automate all the things! Using Puma to automate UI actions in Android applications


In this talk, we will introduce PUMA (Programmable Utility for Mobile Automation), an open-source Python tool developed by the Netherlands Forensic Institute. PUMA streamlines mobile app automation by allowing users to define high-level actions—like sending messages or searching in apps—without manual UI scripting. PUMA is designed for ease-of-use and reproducibility, making it ideal for testing, research, and workflow automation. We’ll explore PUMA’s architecture, key features, and practical applications, from forensic purposes like generating reference datasets, educational purposes like how to validate your application, to personal use cases like automating repetitive tasks. Whether you’re a developer, tester, or automation enthusiast, discover how PUMA can save time, reduce errors, and unlock new possibilities in mobile automation.
