Automatizace regresních testů na mobilní platformě iOS

This thesis deals with the creation of a set of automated tests for a mobile application on the iOS platform. Automated tests improve the quality and speed of the testing process of the software we deliver. Most of the time we automate tests that are often repeated, such as regression tests. The goal of this work is to create a solution that is suitable for automating complex and large-scale regression tests. Maintenance of these tests and making changes must be simple and time-efficient even with large number of test cases. This solution must also be extensible to other platforms so that most manual regression testing can be replaced by automated tests in the future. In this solution, part of the regression test suite of a given mobile application will be automated. These automated tests are intended to make the work of manual testers easier, and it is important that frequent changes to the application under test do not make maintenance and changes to these tests more expensive than performing a given regression suite manually. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with automated testing and defining different types of testing. We also envision best practices for improving the maturity of automated testing. We then describe the regression test suite that is the target of automation and show important screenshots from the application under test. Finally, we discuss the selection of an appropriate tool for implementing a solution to create automated tests. In the practical part, we design and implement our solution along with the automated tests. As part of the solution design, we select appropriate design patterns to use and set up naming conventions, folder structure, source file structure, and introduce best practices for log creation. We then implement our solution using the selected design patterns and set up conditions. Finally, we automate a sample from a set of regression tests in our solution. The implemented tests had a testing run, and a slight modification was made to the already created tests due to changes in the application under test. This modification was time-efficient and simple, suggesting that the implemented solution works as excepted.
