Ios_iphone app Automated Testing Tool

We will introduce some automated testing tools for iPhone apps.
First, we divide these testing frameworks into three categories: interface testing tools, injection UI testing tools, and directory-based UI testing tools.
I. Interface testing tools, mainly based on the unit test framework provided by the iPhone SDK, to test the interface function of the Code.
Most of these tools use the test unit provided by the SDK and Google-toolbox-for-Mac. Google's GTM tool is encapsulated on test unit, which allows you to easily and quickly write test scripts and provide complete test logs and reports, and provides some simple UI testing functions.

2. The injection UI testing tool can test the UI function of the tested application. You need to add some necessary testing code to the source code. The advantage is that it can simulate user operations, test the functions of the tested application, and cover a wide range of application functions. The disadvantage is that necessary test code is inserted in the source code, which needs to be removed during the release of these applications, introducing the risk of inconsistency between the tested and released applications.
Uispec provides the preparation and recovery functions, uiquery functions, and complete verification functions before the use case is run. However, the use of this tool is complex and script writing is also cumbersome, although you can query the UI, you cannot conveniently, clearly, and intuitively view the properties of the application control.

Bromine: the script is easy to write. It fully simulates touch events for control operations. However, the control is located by re-painting the control and inserting the information needed for positioning, the description string of xpath is also slightly complex, and the verification function is relatively weak.

3. The recording UI testing tool mainly tests the functions of the tested application by recording users' operation behaviors and playback, these tools are relatively weak in testing UI functions.
Commonly used tools include instrument and fonemonke.
Instrument is a tool provided by IOS that is mainly used to analyze application performance and user behavior. It can be used to complete simple UI testing of the tested application.
Fonemonke is an open-source and free recording/playback tool provided abroad. Website: http://www.gorillalogic.com/fonemonkey
The above are some automated testing tools for iPhone apps. If you are interested, you can understand them!
