iOS App Testing Tutorial: Manual & Automation

With the release of Xcode 5 and iOS 7, Apple introduced a new framework for testing called "XCTest." This tutorial will show you how to set up and use both manual and automated testing with XCTest.

iOS app testing is a process that should be carried out to ensure the quality of your app before it is released to the public. There are two types of iOS app testing: manual and automation. Manual testing is carried out by humans who test the app manually while automation testing is carried out by software that automatically tests the app.

There are many factors to consider when deciding which type of iOS app testing to use. The most important factor is the time you have available. If you have a limited amount of time then automation testing may be the best option for you. Automation testing is faster and can cover more ground than manual testing. However, it is also more expensive.

Another factor to consider is the level of expertise of your testers. If you have experienced testers who are familiar with the iOS platform then manual testing may be the better option. Manual testing allows testers to use their knowledge and experience to find bugs that may not be found by automated tests.
