macOS and iOS

XCTest

XCTest is Apple's testing framework for writing and running unit, performance, and UI tests for supported Apple platforms. Tests execute through Xcode tooling against a suitable application, device, simulator, or host environment.

Why it matters

Automated Apple-platform tests provide feedback on correctness and user-interface behavior.

Practical example

Run an iOS test target with xcodebuild test and a pinned simulator destination.
