## What it is
Frank is a framework for automated acceptance testing of native iOS applications, driving the UI via Cucumber-based scenarios. This mirror repository has moved to TestingWithFrank/Frank and is no longer maintained here.

## Use cases
- automated acceptance tests for native iOS apps
- cucumber-driven UI testing on iOS
- scripted interaction with iOS app interfaces
- end-to-end testing of iPhone and iPad apps

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy iOS test suite already built on Frank
- you want Cucumber-style BDD acceptance tests for an old Objective-C iOS app

## When to avoid
- starting a new iOS UI testing project - use XCUITest, Appium, or Detox instead
- you need actively maintained tooling or recent iOS support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: testing, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: ios-ui-testing, cucumber, objective-c, acceptance-testing, ios, mobile
