Course Overview
This course teaches an AI-first mobile testing workflow for iOS, focusing on building real test suites using Maestro, Appium, and XCUITest. You will test a real app built with both native SwiftUI and React Native, using an AI agent to drive the iOS Simulator and explore the app before writing tests. The course covers creating reusable AI Skills for test design, authoring, bug reporting, and flake triage, and shipping test suites to CI on macOS runners.
Key Takeaways
- Build complete iOS test suites in Maestro, Appium, and XCUITest that catch real bugs in a live app.
- Use a mobile MCP to let an AI agent drive a real iOS Simulator and explore an app before any test exists.
- Test both native SwiftUI and cross-platform React Native apps with one test running against both.
- Create four reusable AI Skills for test design, authoring, bug reporting, and flake triage.
- Critically evaluate AI-generated tests to identify fragile locators, weak assertions, and false positives.
- Deploy all three test suites to CI pipelines running on macOS runners.
- Learn to choose the right testing framework for different teams or jobs.
Prerequisites
- A Mac computer with macOS and Xcode’s Simulator (no Windows/Linux support).
- Basic understanding of mobile app behavior including screens, taps, and forms (no coding experience required).
- A free GitHub account.
- Xcode, Node.js, and Antigravity installed (covered in the course).
Target Learners
- Manual and QA testers transitioning to mobile automation without coding background.
- Web or Playwright testers seeking mobile testing knowledge.
- Native SwiftUI or React Native developers wanting durable end-to-end test coverage.
- QA engineers needing skills in Maestro, Appium, or XCUITest for job requirements.
- Anyone interested in how AI agents transform iOS testing workflows in 2026.
