- 1. iOS UI Automation using Xcode GETTING STARTED USING APPLE’S NEW FRAMEWORK
- 2. What we’ll be going over Introduction Best tools for UI testing iOS applications Introduction into the framework Demo of UI automation CI/CD
- 3. Konnor Willison @konnorwillison Worked at Bluehost, Overstock, Vivint. Currently at Demandware/Salesforce as a Software Developer in Test We’re hiring! Quality Assurance Engineer II Data Engineer Team Lead Sr. Infrastructure Engineer Principal Engineer-Platform Operations Training Senior Java Developer Work mostly in Java Love anything automation Was tasked with finding a solution to automate iOS UI testing
- 4. What are some ways to UI test iOS applications? KIF – Keep it Functional Calabash Appium Apple’s UIAutomation (currently dropped) Xcode 7+ UI Testing
- 5. Testing with Xcode UI Testing Interact with UI Elements Verify UI properties and states UI Recording Rapidly set up projects Uses XCTest and Accessibility
- 6. Xcode UI Testing Requirements New APIs Recording
- 7. Requirements iOS 9+ OS X 10.11+ iOS devices need to be enabled for development Connected to trusted host running Xcode OS X must grant permission to Xcode Helper
- 8. Main APIs to Interact with XCUIApplication XCUIElement XCUIElementQuery
- 9. Interacting with the app
- 10. XCUIApplication proxy for tested application independent of app
- 11. XCUIElement proxy object for user interface elements types (buttons, cells, window) identifiers from accessibility, label, title (how to find element, combine type and identify) for hierarchy in application elements must be unique (resolve to single instance) exception (exists property) where simulation of UI exists
- 12. XCUIElementQuery specify elements only get accessible elements number of matches using count elementAtIndex filter by type, label Find element by subscripting – table.staticTexts[“Order Now”] Index – table.staticTexts.elementAtIndex(0) Unique – app.navigationBars.element Evaluated on demand
- 13. Recording Add reliability with minimal effort Use recording to find the elements Event validation with XCTAssert
- 14. Demo
Editor's Notes
- #5: KIF: integration framework, directly in xcode project, written in objective c Calabash: uses cucumber, screenshots, able to test in the cloud, not integrated with xcode Appium: uses webdriver protocol Apple’s uiautomation: javascript Xcode UI testing: integrated with xcode, recording, can use xcodebuild, screenshots, quickstart
- #6: Xctest is xcode’s testing framework test methods assertions integrated with xcode debugging easy continuous integration supports swift and obj c Accessibility how disabled people can interact with iOS semantic data for guiding through the UI provides apis to fine tune data that is present this way can interact with environment the same way the user does improve accessibility data, impacts testing, easier to write tests, more reliable, better for disabled users not accessible: custom view subclasses, layers, sprites, and other graphics
- #10: Don’t go over these Three new apis XCUIApplication() proxy for tested application independent of app XCUIElement() proxy object for user interface elements types (buttons, cells, window) identifiers from accessibility, label, title (how to find element, combine type and identify) for heirarchy in application elements must be unique (resolve to single instance) exception (exists property) where simulation of UI exists XCUIElementQuery() specify elements only get accessible elements number of matches using count elementAtIndex filter by type, label
