automatically build, deploy and test on iphone device

Question

Is there way to build iphone app on the command line with xcodebuild, then automatically deploy the app to a USB-connected iphone device and run some unit testing on device?

Right now, I can do this under xCode with "Build and Run", but I'm looking for solution to do this outside of the xCode GUI environment.

Thanks

You can script Xcode using Applescript, and run Applescript scripts from the command line.
