Open Source Swift Software Testing Tools

Nuke ILS provides an efficient way to download and display images in your app. It's easy to learn and use thanks to a clear and concise API. Its architecture enables many powerful features while offering virtually unlimited possibilities for customization. Despite the number of features, the framework is lean and compiles in just under 3 seconds¹. Nuke has an automated test suite 2x the size of the codebase itself, ensuring excellent reliability. Every feature is carefully designed and optimized for performance. Fast LRU memory cache, native HTTP disk cache, and custom aggressive LRU disk cache. Customize image pipeline using built-in Alamofire, Gifu, FLAnimatedImage, WebP plugins or create your own. Enable progressive decoding with a single line of code. Nuke supports progressive JPEG out of the box, and WebP via a plugin built by the community. Automatically prefetch images ahead of time using either Preheat or native table and collection view prefetching APIs.

Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C. Inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo. Quick comes together with Nimble, a matcher framework for your tests. Certain versions of Quick and Nimble only support certain versions of Swift. Depending on which version of Swift your project uses, you should use specific versions of Quick and Nimble. When code doesn't work the way it's supposed to, unit tests should make it clear exactly what's wrong. Nimble makes your test assertions, and their failure messages, easier to read. Nimble provides many different kind of assertions, each with great failure messages. And unlike XCTAssert, you don't have to type your own failure message every time. All documentation can be found in the Documentation folder, including detailed installation instructions for CocoaPods, Carthage, Git submodules, and more.

A library for isolated developing UI components and automatically taking snapshots of them. Playbook is a library that provides a sandbox for building UI components without having to worry about application-specific dependencies, strongly inspired by Storybook for JavaScript in web-frontend development. Components built by using Playbook can generate a standalone app as living style guide. This allows you to not only review UI quickly but also deliver more robust designs by separating business logics out of components. Besides, snapshots of each component can be automatically generated by unit tests, and visual regression testing can be performed using arbitrary third-party tools. For complex modern app development, it’s important to catch UI changes more sensitively and keep improving them faster. With the Playbook, you don't have to struggle through preparing the data and spend human resources for manual testings.
