Unable to reset simulator state between XCTestCase cases.

Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode Version 7.0 beta 6 (7A192o)
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
I have tests that require that the application state be reset before running the test.

In Xcode 7 UI testing there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in XCTest that I can find.

Something like the following would be helpful.

override func setUp() {
        
        super.setUp()

        continueAfterFailure = false
        resetSimulatorState = true
        // OR
        resetDeviceState = true // Delete app from connected device and reinstall then run tests.

        XCUIApplication().launch()
    }

Any news or updates on this topic? I see it's been posted some time ago, but there is no clear way to do this reset until this moment.

You could run 'xcrun simctl erase all' between each test in CI, but yes I agree, I also require this functionality. Please help us Apple this is basic requirement in automation, thanks.
