UI Testing

Overview

Wait for conditions, not arbitrary timeouts. Core principle Flaky tests come from guessing how long operations take. Condition-based waiting eliminates race conditions.

NEW in WWDC 2025: Recording UI Automation allows you to record interactions, replay across devices/languages, and review video recordings of test runs.

Example Prompts

These are real questions developers ask that this skill is designed to answer:

1. "My UI tests pass locally on my Mac but fail in CI. How do I make them more reliable?"

→ The skill shows condition-based waiting patterns that work across devices/speeds, eliminating CI timing differences

2. "My tests use sleep(2) and sleep(5) but they're still flaky. How do I replace arbitrary timeouts with real conditions?"

→ The skill demonstrates waitForExistence, XCTestExpectation, and polling patterns for data loads, network requests, and animations
