The open-source Swift core library providing the XCTest unit testing framework for Swift packages and applications across all platforms Swift supports. It implements the XCTest APIs from Xcode 7+ and integrates with Swift Package Manager via `swift test`.
Use cases
- write unit tests for swift packages
- run swift tests on linux
- cross-platform testing for swift code
- use xctest outside of xcode
- run a single test method from the command line
- list available tests as json
When to choose
- you are developing a SwiftPM package and want `swift test` support
- you need to run XCTest-based tests on Linux or other non-Apple platforms
- you want a common unit testing API across all Swift-supported platforms
When to avoid
- you only develop for Apple platforms and can use the Xcode-bundled XCTest directly
- you need UI or integration testing rather than unit testing
- you need testing APIs newer than the Xcode 7 era subset implemented here
