Test-Driven iOS Development with Swift

By: Dr. Dominik Hauser

Overview of this book

Test-driven development (TDD) is a proven way to find software bugs early. Writing tests before your code improves the structure and maintainability of your app. Test-Driven iOS Development with Swift will help you understand the process of TDD and how it impacts your applications written in Swift. Through practical, real-world examples, you’ll start seeing how to implement TDD in context. We will begin with an overview of your TDD workflow and then deep-dive into unit testing concepts and code cycles. We will showcase the workings of functional tests, which will help you improve the user interface. Finally, you will learn about automating deployments and continuous integration to run an environment.

Automatic deployment with fastlane


Automatic deployment is the ability to create a beta or an App Store version of an app with just one click or command. It is of great benefit to be able to ship a version without all the hassle of provisioning profiles and code signing (often referred to as code signing hell). Felix Krause, a developer, started a project named fastlane.tools to make deployment on iOS as easy as running a command in Terminal.app. We will use fastlane in this section to set up automatic deployment for our ToDo app.

Tip

To run the commands in this section, you need a paid developer account.

Installing fastlane

Go to fastlane.tools (put fastlane.tools in your browser) and follow the installation guide. We won't repeat the steps here because fastlane is still in active development, and the probability that the installation process changes before this book is published is very high.

Setting up

Open Terminal.app and navigate to the folder with the ToDo project. Put in the following...
