Are you wondering how to write automated tests for your shiny new iOS application? Is it even possible? Maybe you're sick of manually running the same test scenarios over and over and over… are you developing blisters on your fingertips? In his talk, Dante Briones--Principal Consultant for Cochiva--will give a broad overview of the automated testing tools currently available for iOS, and share some hard-won secrets of iOS app test automation using NativeDriver -- an implementation of the WebDriver API that can drive *native* applications running on iOS or Android. You'll see how to integrate NativeDriver into your iOS app, allowing you to write functional tests in Java. You'll learn how to execute those tests at the command line and how to integrate those tests into a continuous integration tool like Jenkins. You'll hear lots of tips about how to improve your chances for a successful adoption of a functional testing suite.
