As stated in this answer:

When the unit test harness runs your code, your unit test bundle is NOT the main bundle. Even though you are running tests, not your application, your application bundle is still the main bundle.

If you use following code, then your code will search the bundle that your unit test class is in, and everything will be fine.

Objective C:

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
NSString *path = [bundle pathForResource:@"TestData" ofType:@"xml"];
NSData *xmlData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path];

Swift:

let bundle = NSBundle(forClass: self.dynamicType)
if let path = bundle.pathForResource("TestData", ofType: "xml")
{
    let xmlData = NSData(contentsOfFile: path)
}
