// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

XCUITest is how iOS wants to be tested: Swift tests, accessibility-driven queries, and launch arguments instead of backdoors. It also underpins Appium's iOS driver, so these mechanics pay off twice.

Six questions. Speed bonus active.

Battle teaser

The standard opening move of an XCUITest:

  1. AAttaching to whatever app is already open on the device
  2. BInstantiating the root view controller directly
  3. Clet app = XCUIApplication(); app.launch(), starting a fresh app instance the test fully controls
  4. DLoading the app's storyboard into the test bundle
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
