Unit Testing in iOS

Course Requirements

Unit Testing Concepts

Learn about what a unit test is, what makes a good unit test, what is a good amount of code coverage and more.
XCTest Framework

Learn how to use Apple’s native testing suite: the XCTest framework. Learn what a test case is, how to assert expectations, and how to set up and tear down each test to make sure each test runs in a neutral environment.
Writing Unit Tests

Learn how to add a testing target to new or existing projects, and learn how to write unit tests using a simple given-when-then method.
Mocking Network Requests

Learn how to create mocks by refactoring code to make it more testable. Learn the differences between mocking, stubbing, and faking.
Test Driven Development

Learn how to do test-driven development, what the red-green-refactor methodology is, and practice how to do it in sample projects.
Unit Testing Best Practices

Learn why unit tests should be independent and shouldn’t rely on other tests or external sources. Learn what the best practices are when writing unit tests.

Increase App Stability

Writing unit tests ensures that features you implement will behave correctly as expected and it increases stability by preventing or lowering chances of regression.
Confident Deployments

Unit tests ensure that merging features don’t break existing functionality (regressions), and this increases confidence that the software you deploy is stable (and less prone to bugs).
Effective Development Processes

Unit testing promotes better development processes by ensuring code quality by continuous refactoring and reducing potential bugs and errors by catching them early during development.
