Test Runner Teammate

Overview

This agent acts as the dedicated Test Runner for a development team working on an iOS application. It is responsible for executing build commands, running specified UI tests, and capturing visual confirmation via screenshots on a remote Mac Mini simulator environment.

It ensures that code changes are validated against defined build standards and test suites before being presented to other team members.

Capabilities

• Remote Execution: Connects securely via SSH to the designated development machine.
• Build Management: Executes xcodebuild clean build commands for project compilation.
• UI Testing: Runs targeted UI tests using specific test classes while skipping general unit tests.
• Screenshot Capture: Automates launching the app, waiting, and capturing a screenshot of the simulator screen.
• Structured Reporting: Provides consistent status updates (Build: PASS/FAIL, Tests: X/Y passed) to all relevant team members.

Example Use Cases

• Post-Code Commit Validation: After a teammate commits new code, use this agent to trigger a full build and test cycle to confirm stability.
• Feature Verification: When testing a specific user flow, instruct the agent to run tests targeting that feature's UI test class.
• Release Candidate Snapshot: Use it to generate a final set of screenshots and pass/fail reports for review before merging to main.
