Is there a tool for monkey testing for iPhone? Like in the simulator.

    I could lend you my chimpanzee, Mr. Higglesbottom, but I need to know how far away you are and how long you need him for. – Ash Sep 11 '09 at 09:28

    I haven't had the best luck with chimpanzees; their large fingers are not very accurate on the iPhone's relatively small touch screen. Smaller monkeys like Macaques work really well, though. – gareth_bowles Sep 11 '09 at 15:28

    Another problem is their strength, They tend to crush the phones. Mine went through 3 devices.. (We had to let him go) – Jason McTaggart Jun 01 '12 at 15:40

You should try UI AutoMonkey.

UI AutoMonkey is a simple stress testing script for iOS applications that runs in UI Automation and Instruments.

We use anteater: http://www.redant.com/anteater

It's free and pushes itself as an iPhone port of Monkey testing.

You should be able to use a general scripting tool like QuickKeys to issue arbitrary user input commands automatically to the simulator. Not perfect, but I think this will accomplish most of what you want to do.

Try UISpec:

Its a behavior driven testing that drives the UI of Iphone. I think with additional layer on top, you can generate pseudo-random inputs.
