- #21: I&#x2019;ve previously said that NeXT should never have allowed ObjC code that didn&#x2019;t follow MVC to compile. I still stand by that.\n
- #22: The most common thing I get wrong with outlets is to not set them in the NIB. My strategy for dealing with this is to assert that the outlet is not nil so the app will die if I forget.\n\n
- #23: There&#x2019;s no problem with programmatically creating views in test code, you don&#x2019;t even need to provide a frame if not necessary. That avoids relying on the XIB in test cases, which is environmental data. For complicated views, it may be easier to fake them.\n
- #24: The arrow shows increasing &#x201C;tell, don&#x2019;t ask&#x201D;-ness. If you use the first action type, the action method has to find out what it needs to know. That means introspection, which is harder to test than explicit demand (&#x201C;no, use _this_ button&#x201D;).\n

- #30: The Builder pattern allows you to decouple the construction of objects from their use. This is automatic to some extent in ObjC because of the way Class objects work, but in this case it&#x2019;s good to have an object that returns a class of a type you define.\n
- #31: \n
- #32: \n
- #33: It&#x2019;s also important to look at what a unit test is not. How to avoid I/O -> fake/mock objects. In-memory CoreData. Textcast has 212 unit tests that run in 0.6 seconds.\n\n&#x201C;Tests that do these things aren't bad. Often they are worth writing, and they can be written in a unit test harness. However, it is important to be able to separate them from true unit tests so that we can keep a set of tests that we can run fast whenever we make our changes&#x201D;\n

- #35: Note that this does violate the &#x201C;don&#x2019;t depend on data&#x201D; principle, but Core Data is useless without a MOM so you need to do this. The real deal is the in-memory store. Note that an error is ignored in -tearDown, but if you have that error then you should write a test anyway. As I did to ensure that the store is correctly set up.\n

- #39: NSNotificationCenter is a good example of a singleton that app code often makes use of. Singletons encourage &#x201C;ask, don&#x2019;t tell&#x201D; because it&#x2019;s easy to grab the shared instance from anywhere. The problem is that this means relying on the code&#x2019;s environment, which is bad. Let&#x2019;s try and get out of that.\n

- #42: Statement of the problem.\n
- #43: This is the best solution. Another approach is to swizzle the -defaultCenter method to return your mock. That&#x2019;s a bit dangerous: though test code isn&#x2019;t production code so if it works for you, do it. Beware the pitfalls though.\n
