Once you've stored all your views as properties, you could also use reflection like so:

extension ViewController {
    func views() -> Dictionary<String, AnyObject> {
        var views = dictionaryOfProperties()
        views.forEach {
            if !($1 is UIView) {
                views[$0] = nil
            }
        }
        return views
    }
}

extension NSObject {

    func dictionaryOfProperties() -> Dictionary<String, AnyObject> {
        var result = Dictionary<String, AnyObject>()
        let mirror = Mirror(reflecting: self)
        for case let(label?, value) in mirror.children {
            result[label] = value as? AnyObject
        }
        return result
    }
}
