When trying to use the new Xcode 7 UI Testing feature on a physical iOS device by pressing the record button having the caret inside a test method, Xcode builds the project but just before starting the app on the device, the IDE crashes. I tested this with different projects (even a freshly created template one without writing a single line of code) and different devices (iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Pro, iPad mini 2 and iPhone 5, all running iOS 9.2). Does anyone have the same problem and already found a solution? Here is the complete crash log:

I ran into the same problem. I even tried cleaning the cache (rm -r ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData), without success.
I found a way around it:
Hopefully this works for you.
EDIT. To make things stranger, this works for an iPhone 6 physically connected to my computer and for an iPhone 5s run in the Simulator. Attempts to record UI tests on an iPhone 6 Plus were not successful.
