How to start with XCUITest from Scratch?

Pre-requisites:

To test an iOS app using XCUITest, we may require the below: • an iOS demo app • Language: Swift or Obj C • UI Test Frameworks • GitHub account • Xcode • SourceTree

  1. Login to your personal GitHub Account.
  2. ‘Fork’ a copy of an iOS demo test app such as in https://github.com/appium/ios-test-app
  3. Post successful forking, a working copy of the forked branch will be added to your list of GitHub ‘Repositories’.

  1. Go to your newly forked repo branch and copy the git url: https://github.com/suparna-khamaru/ios-test-app.git

  1. Go to SourceTree (Install if not present)
  2. In SourceTree -> Click on ‘New’ -> Click on “Clone from URL” -> Paste the copied url in Source URL -> Automatically the other fields should be auto-populated in seconds -> Select ‘master’ -> Click on ‘Clone’ button -> Save it in a PC location of your choice

  1. Open Xcode -> File -> Open -> Open the above cloned local project file ‘TestApp.xcodeproj’

  1. On opening the project, the default iOS app can be observed. Our aim is to add another Target (for UI Test) to the displayed project.

  1. Xcode -> Editor -> Add Target -> Select “iOS UI Testing Bundle” -> Next

  1. Choose a suitable name for the test suite in Product Name field such as ‘UITests’ -> Click Finish (if all the populated fields look okay)

  1. By end of this step, you must be able to see that the target for UITests are created in project.

  1. Go to ‘UITests’ folder and start developing a test framework for testing the iOS app like any tester/end user.

  2. By default, Xcode creates a sample class with sample syntaxes to run demo test (with nice descriptions for users to start from here)
