Yes, you can use XCTest with Swift testing. Swift testing is a modern testing framework that can coexist with XCTest in the same project. This allows you to incrementally migrate your tests from XCTest to Swift testing if desired. Swift testing provides a different approach to writing tests, using macros like expect and require instead of the many assertion functions provided by XCTest. It also supports traits for specifying information per test or suite and takes advantage of Swift concurrency for parallelization.
For more details on how Swift testing and XCTest relate to each other, you can refer to the session Meet Swift Testing (17:35).

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.
