Abstract
Mobile apps tend to extend or even substitute the existing IT solutions. In the corporate world, according to the statistics, the preference is given to iOS devices. The complexity of the apps increases together with the apps quantity. This also increases the need for automated testing. In a course of the study we compare the existing test automation solutions for iOS apps and describe some extensions for Apple UIAutomation tool. We have also created our own extension called tTap that improves the existing ones and solves several issues that does not work in the clean UIAutomation. We describe the implementation details of our extension and share the practical experience of testing iOS apps using it. We also describe the part of our test lab solution, while the description of the full test lab is planned in the consecutive studies.
