import XCTest

class StackOverFlowUITests: XCTestCase {

    private let app = XCUIApplication()

    //Views

    private var view: XCUIElement!

    //Buttons

    private var addButton: XCUIElement!


    override func setUp() {
        super.setUp()
    
        app.launch()

        view = app.otherElements["view"]
    
        //Buttons
    
        addButton = app.buttons["addButton"]
    }

    func testMyApp() {

        addButton.tap()
        view.tap()
    }    
}

# UILabel

let label = app.staticTexts["label"]

# UIStackView

let stackView = app.otherElements["stackView"]

# UITableView

let tableView = app.tables["tableView"]

# UITableViewCell

let tableViewCell = tableView.cells["tableViewCell"]

# UITableViewCell elements

let tableViewCellButton = tableView.cells.element(boundBy: 0).buttons["button"]

# UICollectionView

let collectionView = app.collectionViews["collectionView"]

# UIButton, UIBarButtonItem

let button = app.buttons["button"]
let barButtonItem = app.buttons["barButtonItem"]

# Disable animations during UI Testing

In a test you can disable animations by adding in setUp:


   app.launchEnvironment = ["animations": "0"]

Where app is instance of XCUIApplication.

# Lunch and Terminate application while executing

# Lunch application for testing

override func setUp() {
    super.setUp()

    let app = XCUIApplication()

    app.launch()
}

# Terminating application

func testStacOverFlowApp() {
    
    app.terminate()
}

# Rotate devices

Device can be rotate by changing orientation in XCUIDevice.shared().orientation:

XCUIDevice.shared().orientation = .landscapeLeft
XCUIDevice.shared().orientation = .portrait

# Syntax

  • XCUIApplication() // Proxy for an application. The information identifying the application is specified in the Xcode target settings as the "Target Application".
  • XCUIElement() // A user interface element in an application.
