ChaosUITesting

You will need:

• Xcode >7.2
• iOS >9.0 simulator
• A working iOS app project

Setup Instructions

TL;DR: Add a UI testing target to your Xcode project and import the ChaosUITests.swift file from this repository.

1. Open your Xcode project
2. Go to File > New > Target...
3. Select iOS > Test
4. Select iOS UI Testing Bundle
5. Click Next
6. Name your UI tests something like ChaosUITests
7. Click Finish
8. Replace the automatically generated tests file with the ChaosUITests.swift file from this repository.

Initiating Chaos

You can run the tests by viewing the ChaosUITests.swift file and clicking the little play button next to the class declaration or test method declarations:

Or you can run the tests by opening the Test navigator in the Navigator pane on the left of Xcode and clicking the little play button next to the ChaosUITests target:

There are two tests; one which tests for a set amount of time and one which keeps going until a certain number of gestures has been executed.

To customise the tests, you can change some of the constants declared at the top of the ChaosUITests class.

Duration

let duration: Double = 60 * 3 // Execution time limit in seconds

Duration is set to three minutes by default. You can customise the duration with any Double value.

Gesture Limit

let gestureLimit = 100 // Number of gestures to be executed

The gesture limit is set to 100 by default. You can set this number equal to any positive valid unsigned integer value.

Minimum Gesture Frequency

let minimumGestureFrequency: UInt32 = 1 // Minimum amount of time to pass between gestures in seconds

The minimum frequency of gestures has been set to 1 second by default. Shorter times were tested using usleep(UInt32), but these proved to be unstable.

You can make this integer higher if desired, but things are going to happen pretty slowly if it's increased.
