SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides reusable patterns and workflows to execute and analyze iOS tests using XCTest and XCUITest, helping teams reduce flaky behavior and speed up feedback.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Run unit tests and UI tests with flexible destination and scheme configurations.
  • Analyze test results, identify flaky tests, and optimize test performance.
  • Use in CI/CD pipelines to enforce consistent test execution and reporting.

Quick Start

  1. Enable ios-testing-patterns in Claude settings.
  2. Run a basic test: operation: test, scheme: MyAppTests, destination: "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 14".
  3. Review results and refine test isolation patterns as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions about ios-testing-patterns

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify flaky XCUITest failures in a CI/CD pipeline?▼

To identify flaky XCUITest failures, this skill automates test execution and analyzes results to detect intermittent failures within your CI/CD pipeline. It applies structured patterns to isolate test data and log events, helping you pinpoint and resolve flaky behavior.

What is the best way to run XCTest and XCUITest with specific simulator destinations?▼

Running XCTest and XCUITest with specific destinations is achieved by passing configuration parameters like scheme and destination, such as "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 14". This skill automates the execution workflow for both unit and UI tests using flexible destination configurations.

How do I capture screenshots automatically when an XCTest fails?▼

Capturing screenshots on failure is handled automatically through the skill's structured test execution patterns. It enforces screenshot capture upon test failure during XCUITest execution, alongside assertion handling and event logging, to provide better debugging context.

Does this iOS testing approach help with test data isolation and performance optimization?▼

Yes, this iOS testing approach provides specific guidance for test data and isolation to ensure stable execution. It also analyzes test results to help teams optimize test performance and reduce flaky behavior across CI/CD pipelines.

Why do my iOS UI tests keep failing intermittently and how can I fix it?▼

Intermittent iOS UI test failures are often caused by poor test isolation or flaky behavior. This skill helps by applying structured execution patterns, event logging, and result analysis to identify intermittent flaky tests and refine test isolation.
