Xcode Storyboard Simulator test

Question

Is there a way to test views individually from storyboard in Xcode. For example I want to test my last view that is part of navigation controller directly on simulator by passing the prior ones.

I am using Xcode 7.2.

I really don't understand what you want to test. Do you mean UI testing via using XCTest or not? — Alexander Perechnev, Jan 18 '16 at 21:49

You can use XcTest also check out this article on XcTest.

If you are looking to do Behavioral Driven-Development, like navigating through a Navigation stack of segues, like a user would, you can programmatically add Touch events etc in your XCTests:

With XcTest you can see what UI elements are visible, what .text values they have, for example.

If you trying to quickly get to a particular view, so you can see how it looks, without navigating to that view every time the only thing I can think of is to use "Is Initial View Controller" for the UIView and mock any data that might need to be passed to that View to display it properly:
