The document provides an overview of various mobile and cloud frameworks for iOS development. It discusses frameworks for making network requests and working with APIs like AFNetworking and RestKit. It also covers data storage and synchronization frameworks like Core Data, RestKit, and AFIncrementalStore. The document demonstrates examples of using RestKit to map API responses to Core Data objects and synchronize data with a backend using AFIncrementalStore. It also mentions testing frameworks like KIF and FRANK and cloud platforms like Deployd, Parse, and APIgee that can be used as backends.

29. Testing
★
many frameworks comes with tests, bros
KIF
FRANK
https://github.com/kif-framework/KIF
https://github.com/moredip/Frank

30. KIF
★
★
★
leveraging the accessibility attributes
conducted synchronously in the main thread
uses undocumented Apple APIs
- (void)testSuccessfulLogin!
{!
[tester enterText:@"user@example.com"
intoViewWithAccessibilityLabel:@"Login User Name"];!
[tester enterText:@"thisismypassword"
intoViewWithAccessibilityLabel:@"Login Password"];!
[tester tapViewWithAccessibilityLabel:@"Log In"];!
!
// Verify that the login succeeded!
[tester waitForTappableViewWithAccessibilityLabel:@"Welcome"];!
}

31. ★

FRANK
from outer ruby space ‘cucumber’
'Selenium for native iOS apps'.
uses undocumented Apple APIs
totally different approach to testing in iOS
Feature: Various scenarios that exercise different parts of Frank!
!
Background:!
Given I launch the app !
!
Scenario: Counting number of rows in a table section!
Then I should see 3 rows in section 0!
!
Scenario: Scrolling to the bottom of the table !
When I touch "Larry Stooge"!
And I touch "User Roles"!
Then I should not see "Returns"!
When I scroll to the bottom of the table!
Then I should see "Returns"
