SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill resolves the complexity of adopting the modern Swift Testing framework, helping developers write robust, parallel-safe tests while managing the transition from legacy XCTest suites.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modern Assertion Syntax: Provides expert guidance on using #expect and #require for clearer, more diagnostic-rich test failures.
  • Test Modernization: Offers structured workflows for migrating XCTest suites to Swift Testing, including parameterized testing and trait-based configuration.
  • Use Case: Use this skill to refactor a flaky, serial XCTest suite into a high-performance, parallel-safe Swift Testing suite with clear failure diagnostics and improved test coverage.

Quick Start

Use the swift-testing-expert skill to review my current XCTest suite and suggest an incremental migration plan to Swift Testing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate XCTest suites to the Swift Testing framework?▼

To migrate XCTest suites to Swift Testing, you should use an incremental migration plan that transitions legacy tests to parameterized designs and trait-based configurations. This refactoring improves test coverage and ensures parallel-safe execution.

How does asynchronous testing work in Swift Testing?▼

Asynchronous testing in Swift Testing uses modern assertion syntax like #expect and #require within structured concurrency patterns. This approach provides clearer, diagnostic-rich test failures while validating parallel-safe asynchronous operations.

What is the best way to write parallel-safe tests in Swift?▼

Writing parallel-safe tests in Swift involves using the modern Swift Testing framework with trait-based configuration and parameterized test design. This structure prevents flaky test execution and ensures robust validation across concurrent operations.

Should I use #expect and #require instead of XCTest assertions?▼

You should use #expect and #require over XCTest assertions to achieve clearer, more diagnostic-rich test failures. These modern assertion macros integrate natively with Swift Testing to provide detailed failure context during test review.

Can I incrementally refactor a flaky XCTest suite without breaking existing tests?▼

You can incrementally refactor a flaky XCTest suite by transitioning to Swift Testing with structured migration workflows. This approach allows you to modernize test structure and improve parallel execution while maintaining existing test coverage.
