- Create screenshot capture helpers
- Set up performance testing
- Generate test plans
## Input Schema
```json
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"projectPath": { "type": "string" },
"targetViews": { "type": "array" },
"usePageObjects": { "type": "boolean", "default": true },
"generateAccessibilityIds": { "type": "boolean", "default": true }
},
"required": ["projectPath"]
}
```
## Generated Test Class
```swift
import XCTest
final class MainViewUITests: XCTestCase {
var app: XCUIApplication!
override func setUpWithError() throws {
continueAfterFailure = false
app = XCUIApplication()
app.launchArguments = ["--uitesting"]
app.launch()
}
func testMainViewLoads() throws {
let mainView = app.windows["MainWindow"]
XCTAssertTrue(mainView.waitForExistence(timeout: 5))
let titleLabel = mainView.staticTexts["welcomeLabel"]
XCTAssertTrue(titleLabel.exists)
XCTAssertEqual(titleLabel.label, "Welcome")
}
func testNavigationToSettings() throws {
app.menuItems["Preferences…"].click()
let settingsWindow = app.windows["SettingsWindow"]
XCTAssertTrue(settingsWindow.waitForExistence(timeout: 2))
}
}
