Pick the location in your Project navigator where would you like your test file to be created.
Select Finish button and new test target has been created.From the window Choose options for your new target: select your Team and Target to be tested.From the window Choose a template for your new target: select iOS UI Testing Bundle and hit Next:.If you have an existing project and would like to add automated UI tests to it, first you need to create iOS UI testing target. Thankfully, Xcode provides you with the XCUIElement class which allows gestural interactions such as: func tap()įunc tap(withNumberOfTaps: UInt, numberOfTouches: UInt)įunc press(forDuration: TimeInterval, thenDragTo: XCUIElement)įunc pinch(withScale: CGFloat, velocity: CGFloat)įunc rotate(CGFloat, withVelocity: CGFloat) UI testing is interacting with an app's UI elements by tapping, swiping, scrolling and verifying behaviour.Īutomating UI tests can save you plenty of time, especially during regression testing, but at the same time automation testing needs to simulate the human's behaviour which is not always straightforward. Looking at the above, I decided to give the XCUITest framework a try and below you can find my findings. What's more, at that time Appium's support with Xcode 8 was far from ideal and required some workarounds to inspect elements of the iOS application. With Xcode 8, Apple has deprecated UIAutomation in favour of the XCUITest framework. It was a time when my project team had upgraded to Xcode 8, and started with the refactoring from Swift 2 to Swift 3. In November 2016, I joined my first iOS project as a tester.
Find out how to kick off with the XCUITest framework to grow your automated UI test suite. Xcode comes with the XCUITest framework which allows you to easily develop UI tests that reflect users' interaction with the application.
