-
Establish test strategy, coverage goals, and quality metrics; create and maintain test plans (.xctestplan) and risk assessments.
-
Integrate tests into CI/CD (e.g., Azure Devops, GitHub Actions) using xcodebuild, fastlane, and parallel simulator execution; manage test result bundles and reporting.
-
Reduce flakiness via robust synchronization (expectations, predicates), stable Accessibility Identifiers, controlled app state (launch arguments/env vars), and reliable network stubbing.
-
Implement and maintain integration, and end-to-end tests across the stack (ViewModels/Presenters, networking, persistence); promote testability through architecture and DI.
