How do I test my iOS Apps


Update: Added section 'Automated testing for iOS4'

As a professional tester my suggestion is that you should have a healthy mix of automated and manual testing. The Examples below are in .net but it should be easy to find a tool for whatever technique you are using.

AUTOMATED TESTING

MANUAL TESTING
As much as I love automated testing it is, IMHO, not a substitute for manual testing. The main reason being that an automated can only do what it is told and only verify what it has been informed to view as pass/fail. A human can use it's intelligence to find faults and raise questions that appear while testing something else.

  • Exploratory Testing
    ET is a very low cost and effective way to find defects in a project. It take advantage of the intelligence of a human being and a teaches the testers/developers more about the project than any other testing technique i know of. Doing an ET session aimed at every feature deployed in the test environment is not only an effective way to find problems fast, but also a good way to learn and fun!

Take a look at automated testing tools. Supports automated and manual testing/sending feedback from within the app with annotated screen shots


I suggest you take a look at the iPhoneUnitTests sample code posted by Apple on their developer site.
