SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Build testable Swift applications by decoupling external dependencies behind small, focused protocols, enabling deterministic tests without I/O.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define small, focused protocols for external concerns (file system, network, persistence) and provide mock implementations for testing.
  • Create production-ready default implementations and test doubles to facilitate unit and integration tests across modules.
  • Use Sendable conformance and dependency injection to maintain safe, concurrent code across actors and async contexts.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to implement testable Swift modules by introducing small, focused protocols and mock implementations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make Swift code testable without hitting the file system or network?

Make Swift code testable by abstracting external dependencies behind small, focused protocols. This enables deterministic unit tests with mock implementations, entirely avoiding live I/O operations during execution.

How do I use dependency injection with Sendable conformance for Swift actors?

Dependency injection with Sendable conformance maintains safe, concurrent code across Swift actors and async contexts. You inject small protocols to ensure safe data passing and isolation across concurrent execution boundaries.

What is the best way to mock external services for Swift unit tests?

The best way to mock external services is defining small, focused protocols for external concerns and providing test doubles. This creates production-ready default implementations and mock instances for deterministic testing.

Can I use protocol-based dependency injection for Swift UI tests?

Yes, protocol-based dependency injection applies to both unit and UI tests. By providing mock implementations of focused protocols, you can run deterministic UI tests without relying on actual file systems or live networks.

When should I introduce protocols to decouple Swift modules?

Introduce protocols to decouple Swift modules when code accesses file systems, networks, or external services. This abstraction is required for modular design, enabling dependency injection and deterministic testing without I/O.
