  1. Test Driven Development Writing better code By Stuart Mackey

  2. Who is this guy…

  3. …and why should I listen?

  4. What will we talk about? • What is Unit testing? • What is TDD? • What are the benefits? • How do you unit test in Xcode? • Testing frameworks.

  5. What is Unit testing? Unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code are tested to determine if they are fit for use. - Wikipedia

  6. What is a unit test? • Simply a method with three parts • Create the object under test • Exercise the object • Make an assertion

  7. Examples – Unit Test • (void)testCreateInstanceWithType { Foo *foo= [[Foo alloc] init]; foo.type = @”bar”; STAssertEqualStrings (foo.type, @”bar”, @”Type not bar”); }

  8. Examples - Asserts • STAssertNotNULL • STAssertNULL • STAssertNotEquals • STAssertEquals • STAssertGreaterThan • STAssertLessThan • STAssertEqualStrings • STAssertNotEqualStrings

  9. Examples – Unit Test • (void)testBruteForce { Foo *foo= [[Foo alloc] init]; for (int i=0; i<100; i++) { [foo setValue:i]; if (i== 50) { STAssertEqualStrings (foo.type, @”Type 50”, @”Type 50 not set”); } else { STAssertEqualStrings (foo.type, @”Other Type”, @”Other not set”); } } }

  10. Demo Unit testing and Xcode.

  11. What is TDD?

  12. TDD- Example Date entry and validation

  13. TDD – Think differently Before After OnClick { CalendarEntry *entry = [[CalendarEntry alloc] init]; entry.startDate = dateField.text; if ([entry isValidDate]) { self.errorMsg.text = entry.errorMsg; } } OnClick { if (![self dateValid:dateField.text]) { self.errorMsg.text = @”Invalid date”; } }

  14. Demo Thinking in objects

  15. What are the benefits? • Less ad-hoc testing • Fewer bugs • Cleaner code • Easier to maintain

  16. Testing Frameworks • All examples so far have used SimpleUnitTest • Others include OCUnit, GHUnit. • Varying levels of integration with Xcode.
