I found examples on how to debug your unit test in Cocoa or the ADC page here. But I can't get the debugging to work for an iPhone app target. I can get the tests up and running and they are run during the build, but what I need is to debug the tests for some of the more complex failures.
You might consider moving your tests to GHUnit, where they run in a normal application target, so debugging is straightforward.
This can be done by setting up a separate Executable for the project that uses the otest tool to run the unit tests, after setting a bunch of relevant environment variables for the executable. I have used this method to successfully debug SenTestKit logic unit tests.
I found the following links helpful:
http://www.grokkingcocoa.com/how_to_debug_iphone_unit_te.html (also contains help to fix common errors encountered setting up the project).
http://cocoawithlove.com/2009/12/sample-iphone-application-with-complete.html (covers both logic tests and application tests)
