OK, this is pretty impressive. What do you guys have for native apps? Could I use the built-in tools that come with instruments to write my iOS tests? For example, I've tested Apps using IMAT (https://code.intuit.com/sf/projects/ginsu/) Could I do this with sauce? (Full disclosue, I wrote IMAT while I was working at Intuit, not sure if it works with iOS 6, or the latest Xcode)

Yesterday's announcement was about mobile web testing. Of course, native app testing is important, too, and high on our radar. In the native app space, automated testing tools are not as mature as they are for the web. For iOS native app testing, I'm investigating tools written on top of Apple's UIAutomation API -- specifically the "ios-auto" project by Dan Cuellar at Zoosk. It lets you write your tests in any language (he uses C#!), and then proxies commands to the Instruments app. https://github.com/penguinho/ios-auto The goal is to let you test using the Selenium WebDriver API, but with Instruments/UIAutomation seamlessly running as the test's backend.

[edit: grammar]

I know Intuit is doing cool things with mobile testing. I'll be sure to check out IMAT! :-)
