Where to Go From Here?
Download the final project here; this version also includes some extra tests that didn’t make it into the tutorial.
You’ve learned how to write mocks, fakes and stubs to test micro features in your app, along with getting a sense how XCTest works in Swift.
The tests in this tutorial are only a starter; I’m sure you already have ideas for tests in your own projects.
For more on unit testing, check out Test Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior Driven Development (BDD). Both are development methodologies (and, frankly, a whole new mindset) where you write the tests before you write the code.
You can listen to tutorial team member Ellen Shapiro discuss unit testing in the official Ray Wenderlich podcast.
Unit Tests are only one part of a complete test suite; integration tests are the next logical step. An easy way to start working with integration tests is UIAutomation. It’s well worth the read if you’re serious about testing your apps — and you should be! :]
