IBM Rational Functional Tester is good for automating thick applications.

Overall, XCTest is a good choice for testing iOS functionality and apps at a basic unit level. In order to thoroughly test the logic, you must add many of those sorts of basic tests, which makes functional UI testing more appropriate for iOS apps. As I mentioned earlier, limited Programming Language Support and no cross platform compatibilities are the only major drawbacks.

Alternatives Considered
Selenium is similar to IBM Rational Functional Tester but is not as user friendly and does not support thick applications. Visual Studio Coded UI is newer so not as refined; the object inspector/management and execution log results is poor compared to IBM Rational Functional Tester.

We used Appium to do unit testing, but we felt that it was slow and had its own learning curve, so we decided to try XCTest; it seemed faster and more agile to use because we already had knowledge of iOS and the other advantages that I talk before, now all the team is using XCTest.

Return on Investment
  • Speeds up and broadens the testing cycle by using machine time for regression testing.
  • Frees up time for testers to focus on critical items outside the automated suite.

  • Prevents us from shipping bugs
  • It does take extra time to write and maintain unit tests
  • It can make it more challenging to onboard new developers
