iOS Dev Tools: UItesting.tools, XcodeSelectiveTesting, Suborbital
New tools and conferences for iOS developers
Hey everyone! 👋
This is iOS Dev Tools weekly newsletter.
Each Thursday, I share the best tools for iOS developers.
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝
📣 Reach iOS Developers!
If you build a tool that solves a developer problem, I would love to help you reach iOS developers - hi@iosdev.tools
UItesting.tools
UItesting.tools is a web app that uses AI to generate UI tests for your iOS or macOS apps in seconds. Simply provide a brief description in English of what you want the test to do and the view hierarchy of your app, and it will write the test code for you.
Why you will like it:
Save time by creating UI tests, to test important behavior in minutes instead of hours.
Skip the slow, manual test creation process using Xcode's recording feature.
No need to manually analyze the view hierarchy to figure out how to get a reference to a UI element.
Quickly generate tests to produce screenshots for the App Store again in a matter of minutes.
Have the AI create tests based on user descriptions to find bugs or issues.
XcodeSelectiveTesting
XcodeSelectiveTesting is an open-source tool that streamlines your testing process by running only the tests relevant to your recent code changes. It intelligently identifies affected modules—like knowing that changes to the Login module only impact the LoginUI and the MainApp—allowing you to reduce your testing workload by up to 50% without compromising quality.
Why you will like it:
Saves Time: Reduces testing duration by skipping irrelevant tests.
Improves Efficiency: Speeds up both local development and continuous integration (CI) pipelines.
Focuses on Relevant Code: Helps you concentrate on the parts of the codebase that actually changed.
Easy Integration: Seamlessly fits into your existing Xcode projects and workflows (supports SPM).
Free and Open Source: Free to use and customize to suit your project's specific needs.
Suborbital
Suborbital report is designed to help you track and analyze key metrics for your iOS and Mac app business. It provides valuable insights into your app's performance, enabling you to make informed decisions and optimize your monetization strategy.
Why you will like it:
Track app sales, downloads, updates, and refunds.
Understand your app's performance over time.
Make informed decisions to optimize your app's development and marketing.
Keep your sensitive business data safe and secure.
Avoid reliance on third-party cloud services.
Benefit from ongoing development and new features.
