SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Swift Testing makes it easier to write fast, reliable tests by adopting Apple's modern framework and macros, replacing older XCTest patterns and reducing debugging time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Uses @Test, #expect, and @Suite to express tests that run in parallel by default.
  • Supports async testing, parameterized tests, host-less testing, and smooth migration from XCTest.
  • Ideal for projects migrating to Swift Testing, improving test readability, speed, and maintainability.

Quick Start

Replace XCTest tests with @Test and #expect macros and run the test suite with swift test to see faster, more reliable results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate XCTest cases to Swift Testing macros?

Migrating XCTest cases to Swift Testing involves replacing XCTest classes and assertions with @Test and #expect macros. This provides composable test structures with deterministic execution and parallel runs by default.

Does Swift Testing support async and parameterized tests?

Yes, Swift Testing supports async code and parameterized testing natively. Using @Test and #expect macros allows you to express reliable async tests and run parameterized arguments across host-less testing environments.

What is the difference between Swift Testing and XCTest?

Swift Testing replaces older XCTest patterns by adopting modern Swift macros like @Test, #Suite, and #expect. This improves test readability, speed, and maintainability with parallel execution by default instead of sequential XCTest runs.

Can I run Swift Testing in Xcode and macOS packages without a host app?

Yes, Swift Testing applies to host-less testing across packages and app targets on macOS. You can run the test suite with swift test to see faster results using @Test traits and tags without needing a host application.

How do I organize Swift Testing suites with tags and traits?

You organize Swift Testing suites using @Suite to create composable test structures. You apply traits and tags to @Test macros to control parallel execution and filter deterministic test runs across your package.

Why use Swift Testing for unit testing instead of traditional XCTest?

Using Swift Testing for unit testing reduces debugging time by adopting modern framework macros. Tests run in parallel by default, providing faster and more reliable results than traditional sequential XCTest patterns.
