ui test

UI testing in Xcode is a powerful way to ensure your app's user interface behaves as expected across different scenarios. At WWDC 2025, Apple introduced several enhancements to UI testing in Xcode, which were covered in the sessions "Record, replay, and review: UI automation with Xcode" and "What’s new in Xcode."

Key Highlights:

1. UI Automation with Xcode:

   • Recording and Replaying: You can record interactions like taps and swipes, which Xcode automatically converts into Swift code. This allows you to replay these interactions across multiple devices and configurations. Record, replay, and review: UI automation with Xcode

   • Enhanced Device Support: The latest Xcode version supports automated hardware interactions, including keyboard and button presses, making UI testing more comprehensive. What’s new in Xcode

2. UI Testing Enhancements:

   • XCT Hitch Metric: This new metric helps measure the responsiveness of your UI by catching hitches during animations, providing insights into performance issues. What’s new in Xcode
   • Integration with Xcode Cloud: You can run your UI tests autonomously in Xcode Cloud, streamlining the testing process.

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of the new features and improvements in UI testing, making it easier to ensure your app's UI is robust and performs well across different environments.
