A WebDriver server for iOS that runs inside the Simulator.

WebDriverAgent

WebDriverAgent is a WebDriver server implementation for iOS that can be used to remote control iOS devices. It allows you to launch & kill applications, tap & scroll views or confirm view presence on a screen. This makes it a perfect tool for application end-to-end testing or general purpose device automation. It works by linking XCTest.framework and calling Apple's API to execute commands directly on a device. WebDriverAgent is developed and used at Facebook for end-to-end testing and is successfully adopted by Appium. It is currently maintained by Marek Cirkos and Mehdi Mulani.

Features

• Works with device & simulator
• Implements most of WebDriver spec
• USB support for devices
• Inspector endpoint with friendly user interface to inspect current device state
• Easy development cycle as it can be launched & debugged directly via Xcode
• Unsupported yet, but works with tvOS & OSX

Getting Started

To get the project set up just run bootstrap script:

./Scripts/bootstrap.sh

It will:

• fetch all dependencies with Carthage

After it is finished you can simply open WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj and start WebDriverAgentRunner test and start sending requests.
