Answer 1

Using xCode 7 and xCtool.

xctool is capable of executing unit tests without the simulator.

To get this working,

1 . Update target settings to run without a host app.

Select your project --> then test target --> Set the host application to none.

2. Install xctool , if you don't have it.

brew install xctool

3. Run the tests using terminal with xctool.

xctool -workspace yourWorkspace.xcworkspace -scheme yourScheme run-tests -sdk iphonesimulator
