Writing tests before you code improves the structure and maintainability of your apps, and so using TDD in combination with Swift 5.5's improved syntax leaves you with no excuse for writing bad code. Developers working with iOS will be able to put their knowledge to work with this practical guide to TDD in iOS. This book will help you grasp the fundamentals and show you how to run TDD with Xcode. You'll learn how to test network code, navigate between different parts of the app, run asynchronous tests, and much more. Using practical, real-world examples, you'll begin with an overview of the TDD workflow and get to grips with unit testing concepts and code cycles. You'll then develop an entire iOS app using TDD while exploring different strategies for writing tests for models, view controllers, and networking code. Additionally, you'll explore how to test the user interface and business logic of iOS apps and even write tests for the network layer of the sample app. By the end of this TDD book, you'll be able to implement TDD methodologies comfortably in your day-to-day development for building scalable and robust applications. What You Will Learn: Implement TDD in Swift application developmentDetect bugs before you run code using the TDD approachUse TDD to build models, view controllers, and viewsTest network code with asynchronous tests and stubsWrite code that's a joy to read and maintainDesign functional tests to suit your software requirementsDiscover scenarios where TDD should be applied and avoided Who this book is for: This book is for iOS developers looking to apply TDD to build maintainable and scalable applications. Intermediate-level developers with Swift application development experience will be able to make the most out of this book. Prior experience of applying TDD to Swift applications is not required.
