EarlGrey - iOS Functional UI Testing Framework
Tuesday, February 16, 2016
By Siddartha Janga on behalf of Google iOS Developers
Brewing for quite some time, we are excited to announce EarlGrey, a functional UI testing framework for iOS. Several Google apps like
YouTube
,
Google Calendar
,
Google Photos
,
Google Translate
,
Google Play Music
and many more have successfully adopted the framework for their functional testing needs.
The key features offered by EarlGrey include:
Powerful built-in synchronization :
Tests will automatically wait for events such as animations, network requests, etc. before interacting with the UI. This will result in tests that are easier to write (no sleeps or waits) and simple to maintain (straight up procedural description of test steps).
Visibility checking :
All interactions occur on elements that users can see. For example, attempting to tap a button that is behind an image will lead to test failure immediately.
Flexible design :
The components that determine element selection, interaction, assertion and synchronization have been designed to be extensible.
Are you in need for a cup of refreshing EarlGrey? EarlGrey has been open sourced under the
Apache license
. Check out the
getting started guide
and add EarlGrey to your project using
CocoaPods
or manually add it to your Xcode project file.
