WebDriverAgent is a WebDriver server implementation for iOS that can be used to remote control iOS devices. It allows you to launch & kill applications, tap & scroll views or confirm view presence on a screen. This makes it a perfect tool for application end-to-end testing or general purpose device automation. It works by linking XCTest.framework and calling Apple's API to execute commands directly on a device. WebDriverAgent is developed for end-to-end testing and is successfully adopted by Appium via XCUITest driver.
- Both iOS and tvOS platforms are supported with device & simulator
- Implements most of WebDriver Spec
- Implements part of Mobile JSON Wire Protocol Spec
- USB support for devices
- Easy development cycle as it can be launched & debugged directly via Xcode
- Unsupported yet, but works with OSX
To get the project set up just run bootstrap script:
./Scripts/bootstrap.sh
It will:
- fetch all dependencies with Carthage
After it is finished you can simply open WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj and start WebDriverAgentRunner test
and start sending requests.
