Key benefits

  • Build a complete iOS app using test-driven development
  • Explore testing view controllers, table views, navigation, and network code
  • Learn how to write tests for Combine and SwiftUI code

Description

Test-driven development (TDD) is a proven way to find software bugs earlier on in software development. 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.

Who is this book 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.

What you will learn

  • Implement TDD in Swift application development
  • Detect bugs before you run code using the TDD approach
  • Use TDD to build models, view controllers, and views
  • Test network code with asynchronous tests and stubs
  • Write code that s a joy to read and maintain
  • Design functional tests to suit your software requirements
  • Discover scenarios where TDD should be applied and avoided

Ich habe etwa ein halbes Jahr Erfahrung im Schreiben von Swift-Code, hauptsächlich mit SwiftUI, In der Vergangenheit immer mal an UIKit versucht aber dann doch abgebrochen.Ich stehe somit eher am Anfang und bis auf dass ich den Begriff "TDD" mal hier und da gehört hatte, hatte ich keinerlei Ahnung und all die Tutorials und Kurse gehen, meiner Meinung nach (jetzt, nachdem ich das Buch gelesen habe), viel zu wenig auf das Thema ein.Jetzt kann ich nachvollziehen, warum dem Author das Thema so wichtig ist. Bevor ich Tests geschrieben habe, musste ich immer manuell alles testen um sicher zu gehen, dass ich kein Feature "kaputt gemacht habe", wenn ich etwas am Code geändert habe. Mit Tests? CMD-U und man sieht sofort ob und was genau evtl. nicht mehr funktioniert, und kann es direkt fixen.Außerdem finde ich, dass der ganze Prozess, wie man an ein Feature herangeht, sich geändert hat. Alles in allem war das Buch eine super Bereicherung für meine Entwicklung und hat mir, so finde ich, als Anfänger, einiges zeigen können. Auch das die Beispiele zum großen Teil UIKit zeigen, war kein Problem, da alles super und Schritt für Schritt erklärt wurde.Ein Kritikpunkt hätte ich allerdings, evtl. sehe ich das aber nur allein so: Als Exercise sollte man das UI mit Storyboards bauen. Ich hatte keinerlei Ahnung davon. Also habe ich einige Stunden damit zugebracht diese nachzubauen, Tutorials gelesen, etc. nur um im Nachhinein doch zu sehen, dass es in den folgenden Kapiteln erklärt und Schritt für Schritt gebaut wird. Ein kleiner Hinweis wäre hier schön gewesen, es hat mich in dem Moment doch schon sehr gefrustet - im Nachhinein bin ich aber froh darum wieder etwas gelernt zu haben.Alles in allem ein super Buch, dass ich bereits auch schon weiter empfohlen habe!

Dominik's book is very thorough and easy to understand! The examples are clear and are great for beginners just getting started with unit testing! There's even exercises for practicing the concepts learned in each chapter, which I find helpful to really drive the point home. I can't wait to apply these concepts in my personal projects and at work!Thanks Dominik!

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
