Getting started with #XCUITests
summary
Covers practical steps to write XCUITests for iOS: create an Xcode UI Test target, record interactions to generate Swift XCTest code, replace brittle recordings with XCUIElement queries using accessibility identifiers, assert element existence, tap and type actions, and run tests on simulator or device. Shows how to run suites from Xcode and CI, handle waits for networked UI, and maintain tests as app UI evolves; includes concrete code patterns and examples that can be copied into a project.
