Summary

Apple’s developer tools come with powerful and mature support for test-driven development. As with every aspect of software development, developers have their own requirements and preferences, which may not be met by the built-in tools. Plenty of third-party alternatives and extensions exist so you can set up an environment suited to your project and way of working.

Throughout the rest of this book, the examples will focus on capabilities provided by OCUnit. By all means investigate the alternatives presented in this chapter; whether you find something that suits you better than OCUnit or not, you’ll be able to follow the rest of this book without needing to install any additional tools.
