Writing tests with Xamarin.UITest
Before we start writing UI tests with Xamarin.UITest, it is good to have a brief look at what unit testing is and how Xamarin.UITest is going to help us achieve our goal of automated testing for our mobile application.
Xamarin.UITest
Xamarin.UITest is a testing framework based on a popular test library in C#, NUnit. If you have used NUnit in your C# projects previously for unit testing, it will be really helpful to understand Xamarin.UITest faster. But if you don't have prior experience in NUnit, it's absolutely fine.
It is basically a set of libraries for C# (similar to JUnit for Java) to help write unit tests.
And by using UITest, we will be writing UI tests for our mobile application.
Fundamentals of UITest
UITest, or in general any NUnit-based test, has a defined structure to follow:
- Test fixture: Test fixture is a class containing tests, and it also does the initial setup for any test to be executed or any task that needs to be done after the test has finished...
