Linkedin 發佈一套 iOS 多線程 UI testing 工具 - bluepill

剛剛在 GitHub trending 上看到，Linkedin 在 8 天前發佈一套名為「bluepill」的 iOS parallel UI testing tool.

LinkedIn created Bluepill to run iOS tests in parallel using multiple simulators.

Bluepill GitHub: https://github.com/linkedin/bluepill

其特點有

• Running tests in parallel by using multiple simulators.
• Automatically packing tests into groups with similar running time.
• Running tests in headless mode to reduce memory consumption.
• Generating a junit report after each test run.
• Reporting test running stats, including test running speed and environment robustness.
• Retrying when the Simulator hangs or crashes.

實際運行的 demo 是這個樣子

不過目前 mac 維修中，無法實際測試這套工具......

看了一下 issues 裏面的問題，目前釋放出來的還是很 early 的版本，還有滿多可以修復的功能：

• No useful results when app crashes #3
• Need to add helpful error message when test target hasn't been built #9
• No useful error messages when packing fails #17

早期投入 contribute 是一個不錯的選擇。
