Provides a way to test the UI in automated way!. This approach relies on the accessibility labels. These tests are run using Automation instrument within Instruments tool. The tests can be run on simulator or on physical device!
Thought to start with this and searching around the Automation framework, it appears that the Xcode 8.x has major changes in this. Now since the UIAutomation framework has come into place, Under Product -> Profile > Automation wont appear anymore.
Now create a new project in Xcode, it will ask whether the test and UITest needs to be included or not. If opt to include, later when run through the Build > Test, it will run the automated UI Tests.
