Is there some framework which allows to control whole Simulator (to be able to test not only inside your own app, but other apps too)?
I read about:
However, per my understanding, all of them allow to test only within your own application.
I understand that my requirement is very unusual (taking into account that iOS has very limited multitasking). However, I want to write some tests, which will drive Simulator through multiple applications and test that everything works fine.
One additional note. When I said “control Simulator” I meant ability to send some clicks/type something and check controls state.
Eggplant might be the sort of thing you’re after:

I’ve never used it, but I’ve seen it demonstrated. It works by looking at the screen, so it can then click areas that you’ve designated, see whether the result looks the way you’ve said it should, and so on.
