Bluepill
A tool to run iOS UI tests in parallel using multiple simulators on a single machine.
What is Bluepill?
Bluepill is an open-source iOS testing tool that runs UI and unit tests in parallel across multiple simulators on a single machine. It solves the problem of slow iOS test suites by distributing tests concurrently, dramatically reducing execution time for large test suites. Originally created by LinkedIn, it integrates with Xcode's testing infrastructure and supports both headless and GUI modes.
iOS developers and QA engineers with large test suites who need to reduce test execution time, especially those using CI/CD pipelines. Teams at scale-ups or enterprises where test reliability and speed are critical.
Developers choose Bluepill for its proven ability to cut iOS test run times through parallel execution, its robustness features like automatic retry on simulator crashes, and its seamless integration with existing Xcode workflows. Unlike basic Xcode test runs, it provides advanced test packing, headless operation, and detailed reporting.
