What is unit testing in Swift and how do I implement it?

Unit testing in Swift involves writing tests for individual components of your code to ensure they work as expected. You can implement it using the XCTest framework.

Can you show me a simple example of a unit test in Swift?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import XCTest

class MathTests: XCTestCase {
    func testAddition() {
        let sum = 2 + 2
        XCTAssertEqual(sum, 4)
    }
}

This test checks if the addition of 2 and 2 equals 4.

How do I run these tests in Xcode?

To run tests in Xcode, go to the Test navigator (Command + 5), select your test case, and click the play button. You can also run all tests using Command + U.

What are some best practices for writing unit tests?

Some best practices include keeping tests isolated, naming tests clearly, testing edge cases, and using mock objects when necessary.
