pxctest
A command-line tool for executing iOS tests in parallel across multiple Simulators.
What is pxctest?
pxctest is a command-line tool that executes iOS tests in parallel across multiple iOS Simulators. It addresses the need for faster test execution in CI/CD environments by running tests concurrently on different Simulator configurations, reducing overall test suite duration. The tool was particularly useful before Xcode 9 added native parallel testing support.
iOS developers and QA engineers working on large test suites who need to accelerate test execution in automated build pipelines. It's especially relevant for teams using continuous integration systems that require headless, scriptable testing.
pxctest offers a flexible, scriptable alternative to Xcode's built-in test runner, with unique features like headless testing and custom Simulator configuration. It enables parallel execution across multiple Simulator destinations, which was not natively supported in Xcode before version 9.
