Question

When developing for iPhone/iPad do you

1. Do unit/integration/etc testing?
2. What framework(s) do you use?
3. What other framework(s) have you tried (if

Answer 1

Personally I only do unit-testing of classes and/or methods that makes sense to unit test and are worth the effort. In my oppinion this boils down to the following types of code:

• Pure computational algorithms
• Data parser of various sorts (files, internet data, etc.)
• Methods that have a input/output relation
• And probably one or two more I forgot about.

I seldom use unit-testing for test of GUI-related code.

I have only used the OCUnit/SenTesting framework shipped with iPhone so far.

I've also found that making a short checklist of things to do as part of the release process makes up for a lot of testing. It is often not the directly test related stuff that makes problems in the product, but also the small (forgotten) steps in the build/release process.
