XCIntegration-CI

Gone are the days, where one or two iOS developers used to build apps for the companies. As a large number of apps are being built with a team of developers, there is a need for a Continuous Integration system for iOS projects. The process of setting of CI for iOS is complex. There is not only Jenkins but multiple CI options like Xcode Server, TeamCity, BuildKite for self-hosting. There are also cloud-based services like TravisCI, CircleCI, BuddyBuild, Bitrise, Nevercode etc. We will help you to select the right CI service for your team and implement all the necessary things to get up and running with Continuous Integration.

Read Our series of articles on how we have evaluated all the existing Cloud-based CI servers with the sample app.

XCDelivery-CD

Mobile DevOps especially iOS has unique challenges. It is way more complex than web platform. We are specialised in setting up fully automated CI/CD pipelines on any CI server including Xcode Server, TravisCI, CircleCI, Jenkins, TeamCity etc. We can automate the iOS build using native Apple developer tools or using third party tools like Fastlane. This skill is indispensable when it comes to leaving a lasting impression on a client, and ensuring they can release iOS apps continuously without any hassle. Just merge code to the main branch and get the build on TestFlight from the CI server.

XCTesting-QA

Since iOS 10, all the existing mobile test frameworks e.g Appium, Calabash got broken as Apple deprecated underlying UIAutomation technology. It caused trouble in QA industry testing iOS apps using traditional programming languages. Apple launched XCUITest framework to test apps in Swift. We are specialised in the Swift and XCTest framework and can set up entire native, reliable, robust test automation framework from scratch. We can cover functional, integration, performance and API test using Apple’s own XCTest framework.

You won’t get someone better than us in XCTest/XCUITest. Have a quick look at our awesome blogs on XCUITest

 

XCTraining

It’s essential to share the knowledge and train other people so that the automation practices and DevOps principles for iOS can be adopted by most of the iOS team. We can train iOS developers to build automation & CI/CD pipelines setup with native Apple developer tools or third-party tools like Fastlane. We can also coach iOS QA engineers for Swift/XCTest for UI and API testing for iOS apps.

XCML-QA

 

Apple has launched CreateML framework to create machine learning models that can be used in the iOS apps. We can explore and see if this can improve the QA process. We can also train some models to automate day to day iOS development tasks. We can also explore how to test iOS apps built with ARKit, CoreML technologies. This is the new area and needs exploration in the near future. XCTEQ will investigate more in this area.
