YOU CAN RE-USE YOUR PROJECT LOCALIZATION BUNDLES!

When you test message boxes behaviour you need to know exactly what message box just appeared. You need to copy your localization from another scheme during build phase.

In your UI Tests target -> Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources, add the localization files needed (e.g. Localizable.strings).

Add a function similar to the following:

func localizedString(key:String) -> String {
/*1*/ let localizationBundle = NSBundle(path: NSBundle(forClass: /*2 UITestsClass*/.self).pathForResource(deviceLanguage, ofType: "lproj")!) 
/*3*/ let result = NSLocalizedString(key, bundle:localizationBundle!, comment: "") // 
    return result
}

/*1 Gets correct bundle for the localization file, see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33086266/cant-get-access-to-string-localizations-in-ui-test-xcode-7 */
/*2 Replace this with a class from your UI Tests 
/*3 Gets the localized string from the bundle */

Then in your code you can use app.buttons[localizedString("localized.string.key")]
