Learn test-driven principles to help you build apps with fewer bugs and better designs

Become more efficient while working with Swift to move on to your next project faster!

Learn how to incorporate all of the principles of test-driven development (TDD) in to your daily programming workflow

Description

Test-driven development (TDD) is a proven way to find software bugs early. Writing tests before your code improves the structure and maintainability of your app. Test-Driven iOS Development with Swift will help you understand the process of TDD and how it impacts your applications written in Swift. Through practical, real-world examples, you’ll start seeing how to implement TDD in context. We will begin with an overview of your TDD workflow and then deep-dive into unit testing concepts and code cycles. We will showcase the workings of functional tests, which will help you improve the user interface. Finally, you will learn about automating deployments and continuous integration to run an environment.

Book clearly explains the concepts of TDD and how to implement the concepts with strict typing Swift code base. Covers a variety of useful concepts from Stubs, Mocks, and Network request ect.

So I literally just started reading and practicing the book. I have no prior experience with TDD... I am doing Xcode 8 & Swift 3, but the syntax isn't much different still doable, although there is Swift 3 version coming out.So far the Red, Green, refactor approach (from the first chapter) has change my whole thought process about what TDD is. He is literally walking you step by step.I have some problem with downloading the code. Wish it was made easier. The lack of code color is unpleasing to meI will update my review per each chapter I read...

The Book is really nice written and good structured. The only thing I miss is TDD with core data. Maybe in the next book ;)

TDD has always proven to be a best practice to quickly make robust code and catch bugs before they happen. This book is essential if you want to add unit tests to your code. It's great as a guide and reference with all the buzz words and best practises rolled in to one.

I was very (!) sceptical because there are already lot's of tutorials and short problem-solvers concerning TDD on the internet. Most of them give a good introduction or help solving a specific problem. What I was missing was a Testdriven example on a real project.Hauser has absolutely convinced me after a few lines of reading that his book is worthwhile bying. It goes far beyond some tutorial you find on the internet. And he has a great style of writing.He leads you through complete test-driven development of an example project on a very high level. Everything is explained in a very clear and structured way. He also covers the question, how to get from use cases to a good design that is testable. Also I like the way he integrates Interface Builder (also I am looking forward to his next book where he maybe will explain a "big" project doing UI stuff programmatically - I hope).Great Book! All Thumbs Up!
