Jump-start your team with our iOS Unit Testing Workshop

Many developers have limited head-knowledge of unit testing, with little idea of how to practically apply it—especially to iOS code. I can help your team overcome the obstacles that keep them from consistently writing unit tests for their production code. This will accelerate their ability to ship.

Workshop Content

  • Choosing XCTest assertions
  • Checking and improving failure reporting
  • Writing custom assertion helpers
  • Arrange / Act / Assert
  • Getting setUp() and tearDown() correct
  • Identifying difficult dependencies
  • Dependency Injection techniques
  • Getting started testing a View Controller
  • Using protocols to replace singletons

This dynamic workshop combines discussion and collaborative coding. Everyone comes away with new tools they can begin applying right away.

For an even better jump-start, add follow-up coaching. This moves the team from learning concepts with toy code to applying those concepts in your actual codebase.

We worked with Jon to create a custom 1 day course on writing “testable code.” He listened to our goals, learned about how we work, and created a great day of interactive and relevant content that our devs are actively applying.
