DESCRIPTION:
Coverage includesUnderstanding the purpose, benefits, and costs of unit testing in iOS environmentsMastering the principles of TDD, and applying them in areas from app design to refactoringWriting usable, readable, and repeatable iOS unit testsUsing OCUnit to set up your Xcode project for TDDUsing domain analysis to identify the classes and interactions your app needs, and designing it accordinglyConsidering third-party tools for iOS unit testingBuilding networking code in a test-driven mannerAutomating testing of view controller code that interacts with usersDesigning to interfaces, not implementationsTesting concurrent code that typically runs in the backgroundApplying TDD to existing appsPreparing for Behavior Driven Development (BDD) The only iOS-specific guide
Cassandra Sandquist said Possibly knockoff printing. This book might be a knock off, or just a really weird printing. It is the size of about an APossibly knockoff printing Cassandra Sandquist This book might be a knock off, or just a really weird printing. It is the size of about an A4 sheet of paper (8.5" x 11"), but the content of the pages is only about half the size(4" x 5.5"), centered in the page. there is a 2 inch gap instead of a regular margin. Maybe that is how it has always been, but I am going to try and purchase from somewhere else to see what that is like.Also: Not that it matters for the content, but the front picture is all pixelated/grainy, as if it was stretched out to fit on the odd sized b. sheet of paper (8.5" x 11"), but the content of the pages is only about half the size(Possibly knockoff printing Cassandra Sandquist This book might be a knock off, or just a really weird printing.

Decent code; lazy and incomplete explanations The book is a decent introduction into TDD for iOS but it only gets two stars because the author was extremely lazy with the examples. I'm pretty experienced with iOS coding and found huge gaps in the examples that required looking through the example project to figure out. Gaps are fine if they have a teaching purpose but most of the ones I found dealt with just not explaining how his example app was supposed to work- not with learning anything particularly related to TDD.The author also never covers any strategies for . Alex Curylo said Essential reading!. I'd actually talked with Graham briefly after his TDD presentation at the Seattle VTM conference last year, where he'd just about convinced me that TDD might be something other than the development-slowing waste of time I'd previously observed it to be at places that applied it as a management-imposed afterthought, so I had fairly high expectations of the book; and why yes, yes indeed it would be an excellent book even if it wasn't the one and only out there for iOS on the subject -- matter of fact, unconditionally recom
He guides you through constructing an entire Objective-C iOS app in a test-driven manner, from initial specification to functional product. Test-Driven Development (TDD) is one of the most powerful of these best practices. As iOS apps become increasingly complex and business-critical, iOS developers must ensure consistently superior code quality.

Other parts of this dastardly plan include speaking frequently at conferences across the world, attending developer meetings near to his home town of Oxford, and volunteering at the Swindon Museum of Computing. . His first exposure to OCUnit and unit testing came around six years ago, as test lead on a GNUstep-based server application. Graham Lee's
