Review on Testing with Frank by Ron Houston

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works fine for writing ios tests but I would like to see a more modern testing tooling

I like that the team is very responsive and flexible in their work. I do not like that they dont use any of the new tooling for testing ios apps out there currently such as XCTest, Quick, etc. Instead they are stuck with a very old style (I think it's called "old school") of writing test cases via xcode and executing them using command line tools. The new way would be nice but they seem to want the old way. This is fine if you are happy with the old way but if you are looking into something new then this would be a downside. I used this product at my previous job. We were doing a lot of mobile web app development and needed to add some acceptance tests to our apps since we had no unit tests and it was very easy to break the code once deployed.

Pros
  • Their knowledge base also helped me greatly while learning how things worked behind the scenes especially before apple introduced many technologies around Swift/XCode 7+
Cons
  • Nothing really comes immediately across mind
