SwiftMonkey is a Swift framework for randomised monkey testing of iOS apps, generating random user input events through Xcode's UI testing framework to stress-test apps and surface rare crashes. Its companion SwiftMonkeyPaws visualises the generated touches so crashes can be traced back to the events that caused them.

Use cases

  • find rare crashes in an iOS app that can't be reproduced manually
  • stress-test an iOS app with randomised touch input
  • reproduce memory leaks that require lots of UI interaction
  • visualise random touches during UI testing to debug crashes
  • add fuzz-style randomised UI testing to an Xcode test target

When to choose

  • you want randomised monkey testing integrated into Xcode's UI testing framework
  • you need to hunt down rare, hard-to-reproduce crashes or leaks in an iOS app
  • you want visualisation of generated touch events while stress-testing

When to avoid

  • you need deterministic, scripted UI tests rather than random input
  • you're testing Android or non-iOS platforms
  • you need a maintained, actively developed solution - the project sees only occasional releases
