# Automated iOS App Testing
SUMMARY: Use Synapse + Computer Control API to automate iOS app testing via Simulator.

Automated iOS App Testing
Combine Synapse's memory system with the Computer Control API to build
LLM-driven iOS app tests. The LLM remembers test scenarios, learns from past
failures, and adapts to UI changes.
Architecture
[CODE BLOCK]
Prerequisites
- Synapse account + Mind Key
- Synapse MCP server configured in Claude Desktop
- iOS Simulator with  installed
- Computer registered in Synapse (see Computer Control API)
Step 1: Register the Simulator Computer
On the Mac running iOS Simulator:
[CODE BLOCK]
Step 2: Store Test Scenarios in Memory
Store reusable test scenarios as memories:
[CODE BLOCK]
Step 3: LLM-Driven Test Execution
In Claude Desktop (with Synapse MCP configured):
[CODE BLOCK]
Claude will:
1. Call  to find the  memory
2. Call  to see the current state
3. Execute each step via  (click, type)
4. Verify results via screenshots
5. Store any failures as  memories
Step 4: Self-Healing Tests
When a test fails, store the failure and the recovery:
[CODE BLOCK]
Next time the LLM runs the test, it recalls the failure and applies the
recovery automatically.
Step 5: Test Result Tracking
Track test runs as tasks:
[CODE BLOCK]
Common Commands
| Action | Command |
|--------|---------|
| Launch Simulator |  |
| Screenshot |  (via Synapse MCP) |
| Tap at (x,y) |  |
| Type text |  |
| Press Home |  |
Best Practices
> [!TIP]
> - Store UI coordinates as memories — UI changes, but the LLM can re-learn
> - Use accessibility labels — more stable than coordinates
> - Store test data separately — use variables for usernames, passwords
> - Run tests in clean state — reset Simulator between runs
> - Log screenshots for failures — useful for debugging
