SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive guidance and examples for writing and migrating tests using the modern Swift Testing framework, enabling robust and efficient software development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modern Testing: Write tests using @Test, #expect, and #require for clear and concise assertions.
  • Advanced Features: Implement parameterized tests, test tags, traits, and handle known issues gracefully.
  • Migration & Best Practices: Convert existing XCTest suites and adopt test-driven development (TDD) principles.
  • Use Case: You need to write new unit tests for your Swift application using the latest framework, or you want to migrate your existing XCTest suite to leverage the benefits of Swift Testing, including better async support and more expressive assertions.

Quick Start

Use the swift-testing skill to write a basic test for a function that adds two numbers.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate XCTest suites to the Swift Testing framework?

To migrate XCTest suites to Swift Testing, you convert existing test classes and assertions to the modern framework using `@Test`, `@Suite`, and `#expect` macros for more expressive and concise test organization.

How do I write parameterized tests in Swift Testing?

You write parameterized tests in Swift Testing by applying the `@Test` macro with argument parameters, allowing you to run the same test logic across multiple input values and verify results using `#expect` and `#require` assertions.

What is the best way to organize Swift unit tests using @Suite?

The best way to organize Swift unit tests is by grouping related tests into a `@Suite` structure, which allows you to apply shared traits, tags, and setup logic across a cohesive collection of test cases.

Does Swift Testing support handling known issues in unit tests?

Yes, Swift Testing supports handling known issues gracefully within your unit tests, allowing you to explicitly mark and isolate expected failures so they do not break your overall test suite during development.

Can I use test tags and traits to filter Swift Testing runs?

Yes, you can use test tags and traits in Swift Testing to categorize and filter test runs, allowing you to selectively execute specific subsets of your test suite based on assigned attributes.

How do I apply mocking patterns for Swift unit and integration testing?

You apply mocking patterns for Swift unit and integration testing by isolating dependencies within your test structures, utilizing the Swift Testing framework's support for robust asynchronous testing and expressive assertions to validate interactions.
