SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create and improve Swift unit, integration, and UI tests so your Apple-platform code stays correct as it evolves.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test planning and design: chooses between XCTest and Swift Testing, identifies edge/error cases, and covers async and UI boundaries.
  • Failure diagnosis & coverage improvement: guides investigation of flaky or failing tests and expands test coverage where appropriate.
  • Execution-ready output: produces structured test code and includes how to run tests for validation in CI or locally.

Quick Start

Ask the agent: "Write XCTest tests for my Swift module in the existing Tests folder, covering both happy-path and failure cases, and explain how to run them with swift test."

FAQPage Schema
How do I write XCTest tests for my Swift module covering both happy paths and failure cases?

To write XCTest tests for your Swift module, you design test cases validating happy paths, boundaries, and errors. This generates structured, execution-ready Swift test suites to maintain Apple-platform code correctness.

How do I handle async testing in Swift to validate asynchronous code paths?

Async testing in Swift validates asynchronous boundaries by applying test-case design guardrails. It generates deterministic test code using XCTest expectations or Swift Testing to ensure reliable execution for Apple-platform projects.

What is the best way to fix broken or flaky Swift unit tests in Xcode?

Fixing broken or flaky Swift unit tests involves diagnosing failures and investigating ambiguity within test targets. It guides the investigation process to improve coverage and restore deterministic behavior for Apple-platform projects.

Should I use XCTest or Swift Testing for my Apple-platform project?

Choosing between XCTest and Swift Testing depends on your project's framework selection requirements. The decision process evaluates test-case design needs, including async and UI testing scenarios, to generate CI-ready coverage effectively.

How do I run Swift tests locally and prepare them for CI using xcodebuild?

Running Swift tests locally and preparing them for CI requires execution-ready output with runnable commands. It produces structured test code alongside instructions on how to run tests using xcodebuild or swift test for validation.
