Featured iPhone Development Resources,HTML/Javascript,iOS Development Libraries,Open Source iOS Libraries And ToolsEarlier this year I mentioned an interesting project called Appium based on the Selenium web driver allowing you to write your UIAutomation scripts in a number of languages, but I’m sure many would rather stick with Javascript and UIAutomation rather than use something completely different.
Here’s a submission for those who choose to stick with Javascript from Bao Lei of Hulu for a library called GSAutomation. GSAutomation enhances UIAutomation with an extension/wrapper that makes UIAutomation script creation easier.
To do this GSAutomation provides a very clean array based way to create your tests that mirror human interactions, and a number of helper libraries to make common tasks easier.
Here’s an example from the Hulu Tech Blog showing how you could use GSAutomation to tap a button and check to see a label then displays the correct text. Notice the clean array based syntax:
[Tap, "Button"],
[Check, "Text I’m expecting", "Text I’m expecting from another label"],
]
You can find GSAutomation on Github here.
There’s also an in-depth writeup from Bao Lei over at the Hulu Tech blog.
A nice way to simplify creation of your UIAutomation scripts.
