SimEyes Studio

Write an iOS test case in plain sentences, run it on the iOS Simulator on your Mac, and review what happened with screenshots and a video.

How it works

1. WriteOne sentence per line, like “Tap Settings” or “Open the About page”.
2. RunStudio drives the app on a Simulator and records the screen.
3. ReviewStep through screenshots and the video, then mark the run Pass or Fail.

Install

1. Download the app, then double-click the zip. Move SimEyesStudio to your Applications folder.
2. Open it. macOS will say it cannot verify the app, because it is not notarized yet. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security, find the message about SimEyesStudio and choose Open Anyway.
3. Choose Invite Token… in the SimEyes Studio menu and paste the token you were sent. It lets the app get updates and understand your test lines.
4. Studio opens in your browser. Add your app build and write your first test.

Prefer Terminal? xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SimEyesStudio.app does the same as Open Anyway.

You need

• A Mac with Xcode installed (open it once so it finishes setup). Studio uses its iOS Simulator.
• An invite token from whoever asked you to test.
• A simulator build of the app you test, as a .app, .zip or simulator .ipa. Ask the developer for it.
