Quick helps you verify how your Swift and Objective-C programs behave. Doing so effectively isn't just a matter of knowing how to use Quick, however. The guides in this directory can help you write effective tests--not just using Quick, but even XCTest or other testing frameworks.
Each guide covers a particular topic. If you're completely new to unit testing, consider reading them in the order they're introduced below:
- Setting Up Tests in Your Xcode Project: Read this if you're having trouble using your application code from within your test files.
- Effective Tests Using XCTest: Arrange, Act, and Assert:
Read this to learn how to write
XCTestCasetests that will help you write code faster and more effectively. - Don't Test Code, Instead Verify Behavior: Read this to learn what kinds of tests speed you up, and which ones will only end up slowing you down.
- Clearer Tests Using Nimble Assertions: Read this to learn how to use Nimble to generate better failure messages. Better failure messages help you move faster, by spending less time figuring out why a test failed.
- Organized Tests with Quick Examples and Example Groups: Read this to learn how Quick can help you write even more effective tests, using examples and example groups.
- Testing OS X and iOS Applications: Read this to learn more about testing code that uses the AppKit and UIKit frameworks.
- Reducing Test Boilerplate with Shared Assertions Read this to learn how to share sets of assertions among your tests.
- Configuring How Quick Behaves: Read this to learn how you can change how Quick behaves when running your test suite.
- Using Quick in Objective-C: Read this if you experience trouble using Quick in Objective-C.
- Installing Quick: Read this for instructions on how to add Quick to your project, using Git submodules, CocoaPods, or Carthage.
- Installing Quick File Templates: Read this to learn how to install file templates that make writing Quick specs faster.
