EarlGrey is an automation testing framework for native iOS applications. It is developed and maintained by Google. At this moment, EarlGrey 2.0 is being currently distributed and has some major changes compared to EarlGrey 1.0. EarlGrey 2.0 allows you to write clear, concise tests in Objective-C / Swift and enables out of process interactions with XCUITest.

Tool Features

• Synchronization: From run to run, EarlGrey 2.0 ensures that you will get the same result in your tests, by making sure that the application is idle. It does so by automatically tracking UI changes, network requests, and various queues. EarlGrey 2.0 also allows you to manually implement custom timings.
• White-box: EarlGrey 2.0 allows you to query the application under test from your tests.
• Native Development: As with EarlGrey 1.0, you can use EarlGrey 2.0 natively with Xcode. You can run tests directly from Xcode or xcodebuild. Please note that EarlGrey 2.0 uses a UI Testing Target and not a Unit Testing Target like EarlGrey 1.0.
