Swift - How to set the value of an XCUIElement

While trying to implement the new UI Testing in Swift, I tried to set the value of a text field by doing this:

app.textFields["field_name"].setValue(value, forKey: "any key")

However, I got an error saying that the key is not found.

So my question is:

a) Is there an easier way to do this?

an if not

b) How do I obtain the correct key so I can set the value of the text field?

Thanks

When you are UI testing, you don't usually just set values on objects, you are trying to replicate what the user is doing. In this case you probably want:

app.textFields["field_name"].typeText(value);
