Normally you do not need to prepare applications for testing. You can use your application as is, and even test applications that are downloaded from the App Store.

In other cases instrumentation is required. This is where the testing code is running in the application process.

The instrumentation process doesn't require the code of the application but just the compiled artifact (IPA / APK files).

In these cases instrumentation is required:

  • An application that contains WebView (Hybrid application).
  • Application with nonstandard UI elements.
  • You need more options to identify elements.
  • Faster test execution is required.
  • Use some advance coverage feature like camera image injection, telematics, integration with Siri.
