FoneMonkey 5: Open Source Testing Tool for iPhone, iPad

If you had to pick two words typically NOT associated with testing iPhone and iPad apps, “automation” and “agile” would be near the top of the list . As of today, that no longer applies, as Gorilla Logic released FoneMonkey 5, the latest version of their open-source functional testing tool for the iPhone and iPad platforms.

The tool is sure to become a go-to among iOS developers, as no other mobile testing product offers a comprable suite of features. In fact, FoneMoneky 5 is currently the only tool for iOS that records all actions with the iPhone or iPad (while in use) and plays them back as a test script at any time. Even better, the tools enables interactive creation, editing and playback of automation scripts that exercise an application’s user interface.

Essentially, what this means is that developers and testers can now create suites of tests that automate and perform user operation sequences, and then verify results. A game-changer in the testing space, no doubt about it. Oh, and did I mention that it works on both simulators and real devices?

You can watch a video demo of the product here.
