iPhone Unit Testing

Question

Hi guys,

I finished my project on an iPhone dev at uni WITHOUT doing "useful" unit testing (did some simple ones just to put on my report).

I was looking at the apple's unit testing suits (logic and application tests) but ended up using iPhoneUnitTesting from google-toolbox-for-mac, which I found more documented and easy to get started with Java's unit testing knowledge.

1) How many of you actually use this rather than the Apple's "native" unit testing suits? 2) Any suggestions for books on this topic (unit testing for iPhone)?

Thanks for your time reading it!

p.s. I appreciate the importance of unit testing :)

Answer 2

I found OCUnit really straightforward and easy to use. Very similar to JUnit or other unit testing modules for other languages.
