Leverage Swift to practice effective and efficient Test-Driven Development (TDD). Software testing and TDD are evergreen programming concepts—yet Swift developers haven’t widely adopted them. What’s needed is a clear roadmap to learn and adopt TDD in the Swift world. Apple has invested heavily in the Swift Testing library and Xcode’s testing infrastructure, making testing a first-class priority in their ecosystem. The tools are there. This book will show you how to wield them. TDD has much more to offer than catching bugs. With this book, you’ll learn a philosophy for building software. TDD helps you solve problems incrementally, writing only as much code as necessary. By decomposing big problems into small steps, you can move along at a fast pace, always making visible progress.
Embark on the Test-Driven Development journey by building a real iOS application and picking up new techniques in each chapter. The book’s concepts will emerge as you figure out ways to use tests to drive the solutions to the problems of each chapter. You’ll be introduced to all the staples and advanced concepts of the craft, understand the trade-offs each technique offers, and review an iterative process of software development.
In this fully revised edition, all code is updated to use Apple’s new Swift Testing framework, with networking rewritten using structured concurrency and UI refreshed to match the latest SwiftUI APIs and iOS 26 design, making it the ideal resource for developers embracing the latest computing and development tools.
Test-Driven Development in Swift gives you the blueprint for a highly efficient way to make amazing
apps.
What You Will Learn:
- Write tests that are easy to maintain
- Manage and scale an ever-growing test suite
- Build a testing vocabulary that transfers beyond Swift
- See how Swift’s type system enhances the TDD flow of dynamic languages
- Discover how compiler errors can provide the same helpful guidance as failing tests
Who This Book Is For
Mid-level developers keen to write higher quality code and improve their workflows. Also, developers that have already been writing tests but feel they are not getting the most out of them.

About the Author
Gio Lodi spent the past decade writing tests. He began with full-stack web development before moving into iOS programming and, more recently, into mobile infrastructure engineering. Ruby on Rails introduced him to the TDD world, and he fell in love with the fast-paced feedback loop. Any big problem could be decomposed in smaller and smaller parts until it got to an achievable size. Due to the lack of tools he first encountered moving into the Apple ecosystem, Gio researched and experimented with testing strategies and tools document in an ongoing project that catalogued on his blog and in talks and workshops at various industry conferences.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
