Unit testing increases productivity and raises code quality. In this course, author Ron Lisle explains installation and effective use of unit testing tools and techniques for iOS projects, to ensure more stable, functional apps. An example application is provided to demonstrate testing and as the course progresses, developers are shown how to tackle the increasingly complex problems encountered when unit testing iOS development projects.

Topics include:

What is unit testing?

Comparing the unit testing frameworks for iOS

Using unit testing in the refactoring workflow

Writing a unit test with OCUnit

Writing GHUnit tests

Debugging product code with unit tests

Using mock objects

Testing iOS ViewControllers

Testing iOS notifications

Testing gesture recognition
