Thank you for providing this detailed explanation regarding testing of the user interface and for the quick summary at the end. This post was very helpful to me, as I’m sure it was for a number of other people struggling with UI testing. Using dynamic mock objects definitely makes testing easier!

[...] I have been writing tests around my iPhone apps’ view controllers in order to follow the same TDD practices we use in other environments. Writing tests first has changed the way I structure my code in a couple of ways which I think offer immediate and emergent benefits for my applications. Most of an iPhone application’s business logic is implemented in its view controllers. Testing those controllers is therefore a priority if I want to have a well tested application. Below are some examples of the sort of tests I have written for my view controllers using GTM, Hamcrest, and OCMock (our iPhone Unit Testing Toolkit). Hopefully this can serve as a starting point for the tests you could be writing for your own projects. Testing Interface Builder Bindings Broken nib bindings appear to be a common cause of application bugs during development. It is certainly easy enough to accidentally break or forget to create a binding while editing a nib file so let’s write some simple tests to assert that our actions and outlets are actually connected to objects in a nib file. These are really tests of the nib file itself. If the goal was to test the view controller’s use of these bound view objects I would replace the views with mock objects which could verify the controller’s behavior.
