You shouldn't be using UI Tests to test properties within your view controller. That is the Unit Test's job.

Within your unit tests you can always mock your controls or perform actions manually.

button.sendActionsForControlEvents(UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside) 

Then you can do your asserts to make sure the property changed to the correct value.

UI Tests are mainly for checking if the "button is pushing the right controller", "turning the switch to off disabled another button" etc.
