To perform iOS test automation with the Mobile Engine 3.0, you have to first prepare the device or simulator, the Mac, and the mobile application.

Ios Simulator For Website Testing Tool

In the chapters below, you can find the following information:

  • Prepare a Mac for iOS test automation.

  • Prepare iOS devices or simulators for test automation.

  • Prepare iOS hybrid applications for test automation.

  • Prepare iOS native applications for test automation.

  • Prepare iOS mobile web applications for test automation.

Prerequisites for iOS test automation

Test automation on an iOS device or simulator requires the following components:

  • Mobile Engine 3.0 components which are included in Tricentis Toscastandard installation

  • A workstation with Tricentis Tosca

  • Mac device with Mac OS X

  • Appium components for iOS test automation on your Mac

  • Xcode

  • iOS device or simulator

  • For local iOS devices, you need a USB cable to connect the device to the Mac

  • A valid provisioning profile

    For detailed information on creating a provisioning profile, refer to the Apple Developer documentation.

  • Network availability from a workstation with Tricentis Tosca to your Mac

For detailed information regarding software versions and hardware requirements for iOS test automation with the Mobile Engine 3.0, refer to the System Requirements.

Prepare a Mac for iOS test automation

To prepare a Mac for iOS test automation, you have to:

  • install the Appium server on your Mac.

  • set a valid provisioning profile in Xcode.

Install Appium on your Mac

Tricentis Tosca needs the Appium Server address to establish a connection with the iOS device or simulator.

You need local administrator rights to install Appium on Mac.

To carry out the Appium installation on your Mac, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the directory %Tricentis_Home%InstallAppiumMacOS.sh and copy the InstallAppiumMacOS.sh file to your Mac.

  2. Open Terminal on your Mac. Enter the command below and replace with the path to the InstallAppiumMacOS.sh file to start the installation:

    sh //InstallAppiumMacOS.sh

    For more information on the components that are installed at this point, see chapter 'Components installed with Appium on Mac'. If the installation of some of these components fails, you may need to install them manually.

  3. You can verify the Appium Server address by pasting it into your browser. This step is optional.

Later you use the Appium Server address to establish a connection with the iOS device or simulator in the following situations:

  • When you create Modules using Mobile Scan, you have to enter the Appium Server address in the Select application window.

  • When you configure your test, you have to specify the test configuration parameter AppiumServer.

If you want to see the Appium logs for debugging purposes, you can:

  • run the Appium manually.

  • run the Tricentis.Common.LogServer.exe file located at the %Tricentis_Home% directory.

Set a provisioning profile

After you have installed Appium, you need to set a valid provisioning profile. To do so, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Xcode.

  2. Open the project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj.

    The project is located either in the usr or opt directory, where you can find it under /local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent.

  3. Under Targets, select the target WebDriverAgentLib and navigate to the General settings tab.

  4. In the Signing section next to Team, select a valid provisioning profile.

  5. Under Targets, select the target WebDriverAgentRunner and navigate to the General settings tab.

  6. In the Signing section next to Team, select a valid provisioning profile.

  7. Close the project.

Prepare iOS devices or simulators for test automation

Follow the instructions below to:

The specific location of settings and options may vary depending on your device.

Prepare iOS devices for test automation

To prepare an iOS device for test automation follow the steps below:

  1. Connect an iOS device to your Mac via USB.

  2. Accept the connection on your mobile device and on your Mac.

  3. On the iOS device, go to Settings->Developer Settings and switch on Enable UI Automation.

  4. Under Settings, go to Safari->Advanced and switch on the Web Inspector option.

  5. Open Terminal on your Mac and enter the command Appium.

    Leave the Terminal tab open.

  1. Optional: To prepare for automating web applications, open a second tab in Terminal and enter the command below to start the ios_webkit_debug_proxy. Replace with the UDID of the iOS device.

    ios_webkit_debug_proxy –c :27753 –d

    You can find the UDID of your device in iTunes by clicking on the phone icon in the top menu. The UDID is shown in the right-hand side of the pane.

  1. Open Tosca Commander and prepare your TestCases:

    • To test hybrid or mobile web applications, create the test configuration parameter Browser with the value SafariiOS.

    • To test native or hybrid applications, create the Open Mobile App TestStep as the first TestStep in your TestCase.

  2. Execute your TestCases.

Prepare iOS simulators for test automation

To prepare an iOS simulator for test automation follow the steps below:

  1. Install and set up a valid iOS simulator on the computer where you want to execute your TestCases in Tosca Commander.

  2. Open Terminal on your Mac and enter the command Appium.

    Leave the Terminal window open.

  1. Open Tosca Commander and prepare your TestCases:

    • To test hybrid or mobile web applications, create the test configuration parameter Browser with the value SafariiOS.

  2. Execute your TestCases.

For the first execution on an iOS simulator using Xcode version 9.0 or later, you have to close all other simulators that are currently active. You can then continue to run tests on the same simulator without closing it.

Simulator

When you scan or steer controls on an iOS simulator, the default version of iOS is 11.3. This version must be available on the Mac where you installed the Appium Server.

If you want to change the version of the simulator that you use for scanning, go to Project->Settings and then navigate to Tbox->Engines->Mobile30->Default iOS Simulator Version.

Prepare iOS hybrid applications for test automation

To prepare an iOS hybrid application for test automation, you have to:

  • configure WebView to work in full screen mode.

  • set the Accessibility properties in Xcode.

  • make sure that the IPA file build for tests on iOS 11.X are built with deployment target 11.X.
