Structuring UI tests as extensions on XCUIApplication
Most of my UI testing logic is now categories on XCUIApplication
. Makes the test cases really easy to read:
func testLoggingInAndOut() {
XCTAssertFalse(app.userIsLoggedIn)
app.launch()
app.login()
XCTAssertTrue(app.userIsLoggedIn)
app.logout()
XCTAssertFalse(app.userIsLoggedIn)
}
func testDisplayingCategories() {
XCTAssertFalse(app.isDisplayingCategories)
app.launch()
app.login()
app.goToCategories()
XCTAssertTrue(app.isDisplayingCategories)
}
