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.

More information about TDD

You probably want to learn more about TDD and iOS. For example, we haven't discussed how to use TDD in an app using Core Data.

There are many blogs and screencasts on the Internet about TDD and iOS (for example, http://qualitycoding.org, http://iosunittesting.com and http://masilotti.com). With the experience you have gained by reading through this book, you now have a good foundation of how to follow these articles and find your own testing style.

Maybe, by learning more and more about testing in iOS, you might start a blog to share what you have learned. I'm looking forward to reading about your experiments and findings. Let me know where I can find it. You can find me on Twitter at @dasdom.
