- 4. Objective-C developers have, for the most part, remained relatively apathetic to Unit Testing ("There's that SenTest thing, but who uses that, really?"). -Matt Thompson NSHipster.com
- 5. “.. I don't think we have a problem with tools. We have a cultural problem that we need to fix, and that's something only we (you and me) can do something about. Go and spread the word” -Luis Solano Nocilla Project
- 6. Testing doesn’t have to be an afterthought
- 7. Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants
- 8. Use tools that support developer efficiency and happiness
- 9. My Testing Tools ✓ Specta / Expecta ✓ OCMock ✓ OHHTTPStubs ✓ AppCode ✓ XCTool
- 10. Specta ✓ Fluent style similar to RSpec, Mocha, etc. ✓ Lightweight and easy to setup ✓ Asynchronous Testing
- 11. Expecta ✓ Similar to RSpec Matchers ✓ Easy to read ✓ Framework agnostic
- 13. AppCod e ✓ Refactorings ✓ Code analysis ✓ Better navigation of projects
- 14. XCTool ✓ Tool for builds and tests at the command line ✓ Better support for Continuous Integration
- 15. Find the tools that help you be productive and efficient
- 16. The Magic Tricks of Testing Sandi Metz Programmer, Author, Speaker
- 18. Focus on messages Incoming Object Under Test Sent To Self Outgoing
- 19. Message Types Queries: Return something, change nothing Commands: Return nothing, change something
- 21. Rule #1 Test incoming query messages by making assertions about what they send back
- 23. Rule #2 Test incoming command messages by making assertions about direct public side effects
- 25. Rule #3 Do not test private methods Do not make assertions about their result Do not expect to send them
- 27. Rule #4 Do not test outgoing query messages Do not make assertions about their result Do not expect to send them
- 29. Rule #5 Expect to send outgoing command messages
- 32. Magic Tricks Applied to iOS
- 33. Incoming Query Message numberOfRowsInSection: UITableViewDataSource cellForRowAtIndexPath: Incoming Queries make assertions about what is sent back
- 34. Incoming Command Message ViewController view Incoming Command make assertions about direct public side effects
- 35. Testing Outlets & 1 Actions Test that outlets exist 2 Test that outlets contain actions back to methods on the controller 3 Send the action command to the ViewController and assert any public side effects.
- 36. Incoming Command & Outgoing Query viewWillAppear Incoming Command ViewController GithubSearchClient getTrendingRepositories Outgoing Query Incoming Query Do not test outgoing query messages Do not make assertions about their result Do not expect to send them
- 37. Stub the outgoing query message ViewController getTrendingRepositories Test Double Outgoing Query Stubs provide “canned” answers to calls made during the test
- 38. Dependency Injection initWithSearchClient ViewController ✓ Pass dependencies to initializer (aka Constructor Injection) ✓ Set dependencies with properties (aka Setter injection)
- 39. Outgoing Commands Model postNotification Outgoing Command Expect to send outgoing command messages NSNotificationCenter
- 40. Outgoing Commands ViewController addObserver Outgoing Command Expect to send outgoing command messages NSNotificationCenter
