I know this one is going to be a long-shot, but I thought I'd try. Does anyone know of any automated test anything for the iPhone simulator? I'd love it if there was something like Selenium but for the iPhone simulator. I don't need anything fancy like assertions, just something that can fake out taps on a screen so I can stop abusing my trackpad. :)

Is there a way to send taps or keyevents (like on android over adb) to iOS devices?


iPhone OS 4.0 (just announced) includes a "UIAutomation Instrument" for test automation.

Automated testing
Automate the testing of your application by scripting touch events using the new UIAutomation Instrument.

Here's an article about automated user interface testing for the iPhone that you may find helpful. It's a little kludgy but it probably gets the job done for certain tasks. Note that I haven't yet tried it myself.


Gorilla Logic has just open sourced a true record/playback functional testing tool for the iPhone. It's called FoneMonkey and it's freely available at http://www.gorillalogic.com/fonemonkey.
