iOS 自动化测试 - XCTest vs Katalon

Question

我们正在开发一个 Xamarin iOS 应用程序，我们需要自动化测试用例。目前有两种选择。 1. Xcode UI 测试 2.卡塔隆

在选择工具之前，我想了解一下您对上述工具的个人经验或建议。

目前，我们只有 iOS 版本。但在未来，我们可能不得不为 Android 做这个应用程序。此外，我们需要将 App 中显示的值与数据库或桌面版 App 中的值进行比较。

另一件事是，我们需要在云设备中运行这些测试（可能在 Visual Studio 应用中心）

Answer 1

好吧，让我们来看看你的两个选择的一些规格

XCTest：

positive points:

- native tool (but you obv don't care about native tools, since your app is in Xamarin)
- a lot of support from forums/Apple etc
- free
- easy to use, if you have native app
- easy to add to CI pipeline

negative points:

- no support for Android
- not supporting desktop-mobile comparison (it may be done with some 3rd party tools tho )

卡塔隆

positive points:

- supports iOS and Android (beware, that this does not mean, you can use the same code - you will still need to write two sets of methods etc, but Katalon can be used for Android, XCTest not)
- free - to some point (paid support)
- in theory supports the thing with mobile + web data comparison (not gonna be easy, but surely possible)  


negative points:

- not as much support - forums etc
- writing complicated methods is not very easy (but if you have app with a few views, than it will work well)
- implementation to CI is harder

您必须选择更适合您的解决方案，虽然我不喜欢 3rd 方测试收费（因为正确设置它很痛苦等），但 Katalon 在您的场景中可能更适合您（iOS +网络 + 也许是安卓）。 希望这对你有帮助:-)
