You can set the accessibilityIdentifier value to the tab bar item.
tabBarItem.accessibilityIdentifier = "Your_Identifier"
On your UITest case,
guard let value = app.buttons["Your_Identifier"].value as? String
else {
XCTFail("badge value not updated")
return
}
XCTAssert(value == "1 item", "badge value not updated")
The value will be in the format "number_on_badge item(s)". Thus in your case, you should be testing against "19 items".

Thanks, works! By the way, is there a possibility to test badge number in app icon on home screen? – brigadir Oct 04 '17 at 10:21

FYI the format is "[X] items" even when X == 1. Always plural. – Simón Urzúa May 11 '23 at 15:33
