Overall Satisfaction with XCTest

We use it to run unit tests on our app before we release to production.
  • Simple unit tests
  • Integrated into Xcode
  • Supported officially by the Apple Tech Stack
  • Occasionally confusing
  • Fails with automated builds without giving a good reason
  • Not super flexible
  • Integration with existing tools
  • Works with automated build processes
  • Displays code coverage amount
  • Prevents us from shipping bugs
  • It does take extra time to write and maintain unit tests
  • It can make it more challenging to onboard new developers
There is nothing that compares to just having it integrated into the toolset you already use.
