iOS Parallel Automation: Run Faster Than Fast
summary
Describes replacing multi‑desktop iOS test farms with a single host running multiple simulators and migrating tests to XCTest. Explains using Facebook's FBSimCtl and WebDriverAgent together with a Calabash server to run many simulators in parallel, reporting results such as 7 simulators on an 8‑core Mac mini at ~60% CPU and reduced startup time by reusing warmed simulators.
