Test-Driven iOS Development with Swift

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.

Summary


In this chapter, we took a look at the app we are going to build throughout the course of this book. We took a look at how the screens of the app will look when we are finished. We created the project that we will use later on, and we learned about Xcode behaviors.

In the next chapter, we will develop the data model of the app using TDD. We will use structs for the model wherever we can because models are best represented in Swift by value types. We will add some conformance to the Equatable protocol to make the comparison of the model instances easier.
