Overview of this book

Test-driven development (TDD) is a proven way to find software bugs early. Writing tests before you code improves the structure and maintainability of your apps. Using TDD, in combination with Swift 4's improved syntax, means there is no longer any excuse for writing bad code. This book will help you understand the process of TDD and how to apply it to your apps written in Swift. Through practical, real-world examples, you’ll learn how to implement TDD in context. You will begin with an overview of the TDD workflow and then delve into unit-testing concepts and code cycles. You will also plan and structure your test-driven iOS app, and write tests to drive the development of view controllers and helper classes. Next, you’ll learn how to write tests for network code and explore how the test-driven approach—in combination with stubs—helps you write network code even before the backend component is finished. Finally, the book will guide you through the next steps to becoming a testing expert by discussing integration tests, Behavior Driven Development (BDD), open source testing frameworks, and UI Tests (introduced in Xcode 9).

Summary

In this chapter, we wrote tests using test expectations provided by XCTest. We also used stubs to fake a server. We took a look at how both ways bring us closer to our goal--a finished app with as few bugs as possible.

We used dependency injection to catch the completion handler of the session data task in our fake URL session. This way, we could feed test data into the implementation code and assert that the code is implemented as expected. As we controlled the data that the completion handler received, we were able to simulate all kinds of errors and drive the implementation of the correct error handling.

In the following chapter, we will put the different parts of the last few chapters together and finally see the app running.
