About Testing with Xcode

Xcode provides you with capabilities for extensive software testing. Testing your projects enhances robustness, reduces bugs, and speeds the acceptance of your products for distribution and sale. Well-tested apps that perform as expected improve user satisfaction. Testing can also help you develop your apps faster and further, with less wasted effort, and can be used to help multiperson development efforts stay coordinated.
