This is a short break to do UI automation testing with iOS. Here we look at some sample code (untested) for automating Notes app after we set it in Instruments.

var testName = "Notes application testing";
UIALogger.logStart(testName); 

UIALogger.logMessage("Create a new note");
var target = app.localTarget();
var app = UIATarget.localTarget().frontMostApp(); // assumes Notes has been specified in Instruments and starts on a fresh page
var page = app.textViews[0];
var sentence = "The big brown bear ate the brownies in the big paper bag.";
var added = "";

UIALogger.logMessage("Repeat entry of : The big brown bear ate the brownies in the big paper bag.");
for( var i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
if (i == 0) app.navigationBar().buttons()["+"].tap();
else app.textFields[0].tap();
saveSentence(app, page, sentence);
added.concat(sentence); 
}

UIALogger.logMessage("Save a log of the inserted lines in the note.");
saveLog(target, app, page);

UIALogger.logMessage("Retrieve the note created in #5 and confirm the lines are exactly the same.");
if (page.value.indexOf(added) != -1) {
 
    UIALogger.logPass(testName);
 
}
 
else {
 
    UIALogger.logFail(testName);
 
}
 

UIALogger.logMessage("Delete the note and confirm it is no longer stored in Notes.");
deleteNotes(target, app, sentence, testName);

UIALogger.logMessage("Test completed.");

UIATarget.onAlert = function onAlert(alert) {
 
    alert.buttons()["Delete Note"].tap();
 
    return true;
 
}

function saveSentence(target, app, page, sentence)
{
page = app.textViews[0];
UIALogger.logMessage("Open Notes");
target.delay(1); 
page.tap(); 
UIALogger.logMessage("The new note must have the following line in it - The big brown bear ate the brownies in the big paper bag.");
page.setValue(page.value + sentence) ;
UIALogger.logMessage("Close Notes");
app.navigationBar().buttons()["Done"].tap();
app.navigationBar().buttons()["Notes"].tap();
}

function saveLog(target, app, page)
{
target.delay(1); 
app.textFields[0].tap();
page = app.textViews[0];
page.tap(); 
page.setValue(page.value + page.logElementTree()) ;
app.navigationBar().buttons()["Done"].tap();
app.navigationBar().buttons()["Notes"].tap();
app.textFields[0].tap();
page = app.textViews[0];
}

function deleteNotes(target, app, title, testName)
{
target.delay(1);
UIATarget.localTarget().deactivateAppForDuration(10);
app.navigationBar().buttons()["Delete"].tap();
app.navigationBar().buttons()["Notes"].tap();
if (app.textFields[0].value == title)
 UIALogger.logFail(testName);
}
