This is a framework for generating randomised user input in iOS apps. This kind of monkey testing is useful for stress-testing apps and finding rare crashes.
There is a related project, SwiftMonkeyPaws, which provides visualisation of the generated events. This greatly increases the usefulness of the randomised testing, as you can see what touches caused any crash you may encounter.
SwiftMonkey uses Swift 3.0. It has no other dependencies other than iOS itself. Pairing it with the SwiftMonkeyPaws framework is a good idea, but not required.
To be written.
- Add simplified API for sane default settings.
- Add randomised testing using public XCTest APIs.
- Find clickable view and click them directly instead of clicking random locations, to compensate for the slow event generation.
- Once Swift Package Manager has iOS support, update project to support it properly.
