iSimulate is useful for testing your iPhone xcode simulator projects without uploading to your phone. It supports all the iPhone/iPad inputs: accelerometer, compass, multi-touch, GPS etc. There is a free version to try it out with single touch only and no accelerometer etc. I've not tried integrating it with monkey yet but it should be straightforward enough.

A colleague recently showed me TestFlight today, and it seems to work really well for remote beta testing. Very clever stuff.

I can vouch that testflight is incredibly awesome! I have small number of testers I can now push out builds to remotely. The setup is slightly fiddly in that you have to manually generate your ditributation certificate every time you add a new tester (through the apple provisioning center) but there are decent tutorials for all of this!

Your beta testers get notified by email and testflight will even give you a step by step update of have they read the email, clicked the link, installed the app, etc.

Very Cool!

I've just integrated iSimulate with the official guide and it works a treat!

TestFlight is also great.
