To write a unit test using Swift Testing, you can follow these steps. Swift Testing is a new framework introduced by Apple, designed to be expressive and easy to use. Here's a simple example to get you started:
-
Create a Test Target: First, ensure you have a test target in your Xcode project. You can add one by choosing
File > New > Target
and selectingUnit Testing Bundle
. -
Import the Testing Module: In your test file, import the Swift Testing framework.
-
Write a Test Function: Define a function and use the
@Test
attribute to mark it as a test. This attribute tells Xcode that the function is a test case. -
Use the
expect
Macro: Within your test function, use theexpect
macro to evaluate expressions and verify that your code behaves as expected.
Here's an example of a simple test:
import SwiftTesting
@Test
func testAddition() {
let sum = 2 + 2
expect(sum == 4, "Sum should be 4")
}
In this example, the testAddition
function checks if the sum of 2 and 2 equals 4. The expect
macro is used to assert that the condition is true.
For more detailed information and advanced features like parameterized tests, you can refer to the session Meet Swift Testing from WWDC 2024. This session covers the building blocks of Swift Testing and provides insights into writing expressive and efficient tests.

What’s new in Swift
Join us for an update on Swift. We’ll briefly go through a history of Swift over the past decade, and show you how the community has grown through workgroups, expanded the package ecosystem, and increased platform support. We’ll introduce you to a new language mode that achieves data-race safety by default, and a language subset that lets you run Swift on highly constrained systems. We’ll also explore some language updates including noncopyable types, typed throws, and improved C++ interoperability.
