This is NOT about acceptance tests
Why invest in UI Testing?
Test from the user’s point of view
Reproduce any imaginable scenario
Architecture
GOOD ARCHITECTURE Readability Testability Embrace change Robustness
BAD ARCHITECTURE Fear of change Lots of WTFs Hacks Mystic
knowledge
What main features should your architecture have to enable you
to write UI tests effectively?
Each layer must have a crystal clear purpose and responsibilities
Be able to replace the dependencies to inject test doubles

UI Abstraction over UIViewController Passive Views
Use Cases Gateway to the “data” world Expose what your
domain layer can do
Navigator Navigates from one screen to another Knows about the
state of the screen at any given time Handle the presentation of this new screen
CompositionRoot Knows how to instantiate every collaborator of the app
Knows about the particulars of a collaborator
Presenter Tell the UI what to do Tell Navigators where
the user wants to go Execute Use Cases KEY point for dependency injection
How does this look like in a real app?

App launch
Screen AppDelegate private func installRootNavigator() { let builder = AppCompositionRoot.Builder()
appCompositionRoot = builder.with( venueCompositionRoot: VenueCompositionRoot() ).build() navigator = RootNavigator( appCompositionRoot: appCompositionRoot ) navigator.installRootViewController(window!) window?.makeKeyAndVisible() } 1 2 3
DEPENDENCIES RootNavigator func installRootViewController(window: UIWindow) { let vc = appCompositionRoot.getInitialViewController()
currentNavigationController = vc window.rootViewController = vc }
DEPENDENCIES AppCompositionRoot class AppCompositionRoot { let venue: VenueCompositionRoot func getInitialViewController()
-> UINavigationController { let vc = venue.getBestVenuesAroundViewController() return UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc) } }
DEPENDENCIES VenueCompositionRoot func getBestVenuesAroundViewController() -> UIViewController { let vc =
BestVenuesAroundYouViewController() vc.venuesAroundYouPresenter = BestVenuesAroundYouPresenter( ui: vc, getBestPlacesAroundYouUseCase: getPlacesAroundYouUseCase(), getUserLocationUseCase: getUserLocationUseCase(), navigator: getVenueListNavigator() ) return vc }
Going to a venue detail
TAP
presenter.venueSelected(venue) UI navigator.goTo(venue) PRESENTER compositionRoot.getVC(venue) pushViewController() NAVIGATOR
Screen BestVenuesAroundYouViewController func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) { guard
let venue = ds.venue(atIndexPath: indexPath) else { return } venuesAroundYouPresenter.venueSelected(venue) }
Screen BestVenuesAroundYouPresenter func venueSelected(venue: VenueViewModel) { navigator.goTo(venueDetail: venue) }
DEPENDENCIES VenueListNavigator func goTo(venueDetail venue: VenueViewModel) { let vc =
appCompositionRoot.venue.getVenueDetailViewController( forVenue: venue ) currentNavigationController?.pushViewController( vc, animated: true ) }

Why is all this possible?
