iOS Code Testing: Test-Driven Development and Behavior-Driven Development with Swift

by Abhishek Mishra

Put into motion practical examples to master Test-Driven Development (TDD) and acceptance testing in Swift.

This book uses a pragmatic approach to writing well-tested code and provides techniques that can be used to retrofit tests to legacy code bases. You'll be introduced to basic principles of TDD, such as Test First, Red-Green-Refactor, Remove Duplicate code, Dependency Injection, and Single Responsibility. Approaches covered include TDD, behavior-driven development (BDD), UI, and acceptance testing with common standard/open source frameworks.

iOS Code Testing offers helpful instruction to teach iOS developers to retrospectively fit tests to legacy code, refactor legacy code so as to make the code more testable, install and configure a popular Swift BDD framework, practice BDD with Xcode, and create automated UI tests with Xcode. Additionally, many projects have legacy code bases. Legacy code is often seen as a blocker when it comes to implementing any kind of testing. What You Will Learn Who This Book Is For
Software practitioners, such as Swift developers and mobile app testers.

About the author

Born to a middle-class family, I have always embraced remarkable dreams to my journey of life. Educated at a convent school, in a small town like Shillong, which is beautifully earthed as the capital of the abode of clouds – Meghalaya, in the North-Eastern hemisphere of India, I mastered my way to becoming an economics graduate from Symbiosis College of Arts & Commerce, Pune.

My nascent skills in writing was first recognized when I had a poem on Shillong – The Scotland of the east published in one of the daily newspapers (The Shillong Times); the interest only grew stronger hence and my will more concrete as I developed this unique interest in writing.

I have written a few poems, though unpublished, yet once in appropriate numbers could translate into another novel project.

The greatest inspiration towards fame has been my mother, who has dunked pretty much everything to ensure good education to my siblings and I.

“The Last Cast” is my debut novel and is written in light of targeting youth that have an undefeated craving for mystery and thrillers. Writing my first novel has indeed been an arduous task, as often I would find myself stationary on my desk wondering what the next words might be. After an 18 month of constant effort, have I been able to forsee this dream of becoming an author come true.

I am an avid writer and love to craft emotions and existent entities into words. In my opinion, words are the most powerful medium and undeniably the best form to communicate emotions, feelings, aspirations, desires and achievement.

I hope, in context of my first novel, one should find interest and generate the liking to my writings.
