What problem does it solve?

Swift Testing provides a modern, expressive testing framework to replace legacy XCTest syntax, enabling clearer test definitions and richer traits, suites, and parameterization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured in Swift with @Suite and @Test for clear organization
  • Parameterized tests, traits, and flexible lifecycle management
  • Smooth migration guidance between XCTest and Swift Testing, plus mixed environments

Quick Start

Annotate tests with @Suite and @Test and run swift test to execute them.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate XCTest tests to Swift Testing in Xcode 16?

Migrate XCTest tests to Swift Testing by annotating classes with @Suite and functions with @Test, importing the Testing framework. XCTest and Swift Testing can coexist in the same target for smooth, incremental migration.

How do parameterized tests work in Swift Testing?

Parameterized tests in Swift Testing pass multiple input arguments to a single @Test function. This enables comprehensive coverage across data sets without duplicating test logic.

Can I use XCTest and Swift Testing in the same target?

Yes, XCTest and Swift Testing coexist seamlessly in the same target. This allows incremental migration without rewriting legacy tests all at once.

What are traits in Swift Testing and how do I use them?

Traits in Swift Testing modify test behavior and organize test suites. Apply them via @Test and @Suite annotations to enable flexible lifecycle management and richer test definitions.

How do I organize tests using suites in Swift Testing?

Organize tests using suites in Swift Testing by grouping related @Test functions within a @Suite annotated class. This provides clear structural organization for test workflows.

Do I need Xcode 16 to run Swift Testing?

Yes, Xcode 16 or later is required to use Swift Testing. The modern framework relies on annotations like @Suite and @Test that run via the swift test command.
