how can I start working with swifttest

To start working with Swift testing, you can follow these steps:

1. Add a Test Bundle Target:

   • Open your project in Xcode.
   • Choose File > New > Target.
   • Search for Unit Testing Bundle in the test section.
   • Swift testing is the default choice for this template in Xcode 16.
   • Choose a name for your new target and click Finish.

2. Write Your First Test:

   • If your app already has a test target, you can start writing your first test there.
   • Add a function with a @Test attribute to your test suite.
   • You can provide a friendly title and use macros like #expect to evaluate the result of any Swift expression.

3. Organize and Customize Tests:

   • Use tags to organize and filter your tests.
   • Parameterize tests to avoid duplicating the same test for multiple inputs.
   • Customize your tests using traits.

4. Run Tests:

   • You can run tests from the terminal by typing swift test.
   • This command runs both XCTest and Swift testing tests, showing pass and fail results with detailed failure messages.
