Test Automation Feature in Xcode 4 - xcode

Do anybody knows what is Test Automation Feature in Xcode4 and how it can be beneficial???

Using Automation, you can write UI test javascripts to step through your application's UI.

Definitely, Frank is one of the good automated testing tool for acceptance testing of mobile applications. But, Frank does not support test automation if the source code of mobile app is not available

Xamarin Can I use Appium to perform automation testing with a real device?

Can I use Appium with Xamarin, to run automation tests on a real device?
I need to test bluetooth connectivity among the basic functions of the app (login, navigation etc), that is why I need to use a real device.
Is this possible? And any information that is helpful towards how to achieve that is appreciated.
Here is a video about Appium-based automated mobile UI testing in xamarin you can refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffxtOUCIUUQ.
And there is a sample in it you can test with:https://github.com/xamarin-automation-service/Appium.POP.Example

Headless UI Automation Testing Using Coded UI

As a beginner, I'm researching towards whether is it possible to run automated test scripts of Coded UI in Headless mode for Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline.
My intention is to automate UI of Desktop Applications. Along with this, I have concerned about MS Winapp Driver as well but it was concluded that, Coded UI is the ideal tool for my objective.
Researches Done:
1.) Created a Coded UI project and run a test scenario through Visual Studio - Successful
2.) Run the same scenario (C# file) using command prompt (using MSTest switches) - Successful
It will be highly appreciable, if one can come up with some best solution(s) or sample project.
According to this link(UI testing considerations), you can not use Headless for Desktop app.
if you are running UI tests for desktop apps, Windows agents must be configured to run as an interactive process with auto-logon enabled

Appcelerator automated Functional Testing

Is there an alternative to Soasta with the enterprise license for automated functional testing? I'm looking for a solution where we can record clicks, gestures and input etc and play it back.
Thanks in advance
Xamarin UI Test. Titanium renders native components, so in your application you can write end-to-end test with it. There is a test recorder (only for Visual Studio) and a REPL which you can use to write your actions one by one and to have a look at the components tree. It's everything based on the compiled file so there aren't integration problems. After you can also automate those tests on Xamarin Test in Cloud.

Need Help in Xamarin UI Test Automation

I am currently working on Mobile App automation .Have come across Xamarin UI Test Automation.But I could find less documentation on that.
I have downloaded xamarin studio on Mac as well as on Windows.
But I need help on scripting from scratch.How can I use the tool to script and run on Android as well IOS phones.
I faced same issue. This two links: bdd, ui test helped me. First link is about BDD testing but include what you need.
Also you should check Xamarin UI tests recorder that can simplify your task but it's not a free.

Testing VXML Applications in a Application Simulator

I am looking for a solution to simulate vxml application in a desktop/web browser.
Challenge
i have few hundreds of unit test cases in every new vxml application development.
it is not possible to always make a test call to test every single unit test cases i have. if i can test vxml application in a simulator it will be more easy to test it..
i am aware of that avaya Dialog designer/AAOD have a feature to test application in their inbuild Application simulator which comes with AAOD/DD Eclipse package but this tool can run AAOD/DD projects in workspace alone.
Please refer : Chapter 16 in Avaya dev guide
AAOD's Tool looks like this
is it possible to customize to use this tool to simulate static VXML / Nuance NDF based VXML application ?
or any other tools available ?
Unit testing of IVR applications is challenging and it is near impossible to hit ever possible path in the call flow for an application of any size. I am not aware if you can customize Avaya's tool for your needs. But there is a product out there that may fit some of your requirements. It is Voiyager by Syntellect. It looks like they have a free trial now if you want to try it out. I saw a demonstration of it at SpeechTEK a few years ago and it was pretty impressive. The only reason I did not pursue it at the time is that it was pretty pricey.
Avaya od/dd is a platform dependent tool(IDE) where you can create (vxml+java), test and debug application in the tool. But code which is created outside(Avaya OD/DD tool) the environment is not possible. Because code generated in avaya OD is java format, while executing in the voice browser it is converted into vxml for that u need to give webLM a license to avaya tool.You can use some ivr automation tools like hammer etc.But you need to pay for the software.
VXML apps are just WARs. The only session information transferred between invocations of pages is the session id. We have used Apache JMeter to create apps.
What you can do it try and see if what you want to do can be done via the web browser, by going to http://<server>/<Application/Start there fill the boxes you require (most of the time just filling the ones marked ANI and DNIS will be enough). If your call can be tested this way you can use the tools for web testing, without using Orchestration Designer.
If your app has a CTI/AES connector you may not be able to do this, because the web server tries to connect to AES upon submitting the first page.
As stated above , there are things that cannot be unit tested .
Nuance NDF and SVF applications come with test pages where you can simulate the call flow ; similar tools exit for grammars .
