At WWDC, Apple introduced several new features and enhancements related to testing across different sessions:
-
Xcode Enhancements:
- Xcode's UI testing has received a significant upgrade with a new code generation system for UI Automation Recording. This makes it easier to implement UI tests by recording interactions and generating the necessary code (What’s new in Xcode).
- Xcode 26 introduces the XCT Hitch metric, which helps in measuring the responsiveness of your UI by catching hitches during testing (What’s new in Xcode).
-
Swift Testing:
- A new testing framework called Swift Testing was introduced, designed to leverage Swift language features for more powerful and concise test expressions. It supports cross-platform testing and includes features like tagging and parameterized tests (Platforms State of the Union).
- Swift Testing allows for organizing tests with tags and suites, making it easier to manage large test collections (Go further with Swift Testing).
-
TestFlight Updates:
- TestFlight has updated its invitation experience to better showcase apps to testers, facilitating more effective beta testing and feedback collection (What’s new in App Store Connect).
These updates aim to streamline the testing process, improve test management, and enhance the overall quality assurance workflow for developers using Apple's platforms.
