If you want the long story, read [the blog post](https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2017/01/open-sourcing-bluepill--run-ios-tests-in-multiple-simulators).\n\n## Features\n\n-  Running tests in parallel by using multiple simulators.\n-  Automatically packing tests into groups.\n-  Running tests in headless mode to reduce memory consumption.\n-  Generating a junit report after each test run.\n-  Reporting test running stats, including test running speed and environment robustness.\n-  Retrying when the Simulator hangs or crashes.\n\n## Usages\n\nIt is quick and easy to start using Bluepill!\n\n- Get bluepill binary: build from source or use our [releases](https://github.com/linkedin/bluepill/releases/). You can also get the binary from Homebrew.\n\n``` shell\n$ brew install bluepill\n```\n\n- Build your app and test bundle. You must `build-for-testing` if you use `xcodebuild` in terminal.\n- Run bluepill using the `.xctestrun` file generated by Xcode.\n\n```shell\n$ bluepill --xctestrun-path ./SampleAppTest_iphonesimulator10.3-x86_64.xctestrun -o ./output/\n```\n\nAlternatively, you can use a configuration file like the one below:\n\n```\n{\n   \"xctestrun-path\": \"./SampleAppTest_iphonesimulator10.3-x86_64.xctestrun\", # Relative path or abs path\n   \"output-dir\": \"./build/\" # Relative path or abs path\n}\n```\n\nAnd run\n\n```shell\n$ bluepill -c config.json\n```\n\n## Flags\n\nA full list supported options are listed here.\n\n\n|   Config Arguments     | Command Line Arguments | Explanation                                                                                  | Required | Default value    |\n|:----------------------:|:----------------------:|--------------------------------------------",
