Unit tests are performed on a single unit of code, usually on a specific function, variable or flow. They allow us to test the components in isolation and validate each single component’s reliability in turn. In this article we’ll introduce the concept of Swift unit testing, and explain, at a high level, why you should carry them out, how you can start developing your iOS apps in a test driven development methodology and how you can write Swift unit test cases.

In the competitive landscape of iOS app development, ensuring the quality and functionality of your application is crucial. That’s where automated testing tools come in, enabling developers to streamline their testing processes and deliver robust, bug-free applications. In this comprehensive overview, we dive into the world of automated testing tools for iOS, exploring the top contenders that can revolutionize your testing efforts.

In Android app development, creating a smooth, responsive user experience is essential. Kotlin coroutines help developers achieve this by streamlining and speeding up the app’s background operations. Kotlin coroutines significantly simplify the way we write asynchronous code and they allow any Android developer to easily run a background task or an asynchronous task.

This is the most fertile time for mobile app development since the launch of the App Store. Our industry is in the grip of several simultaneous revolutions, each of them bending, flexing and moulding to the others. 5G promises to make our apps 10 times faster; wearable technology lets them wrap themselves around our bodies; artificial intelligence enables them to learn from us and get smarter every day. But this torrent of innovation brings challenges, too.

Building software can be as easy as baking a cake, or as hard as rocket science. It all depends on the tools you use. As a developer, you’ve probably encountered issues like inconsistent builds, long build times, and dependency hell. If you want to make your life easier and your software better, you may want to try Bazel, the ultimate build tool that can handle anything from cupcakes to spaceships.

Self-hosted platforms have been around for a long time but fully managed solutions are the future. Learn the differences between self-hosted and fully managed to help you make the right decision for your organization.

An array is like a box with compartments, where you can store a set number of items of the same kind. Arrays play a crucial role in Kotlin, helping us hold many items together. They allow us to send multiple values to a function easily, or make various changes to the data. There are various different forms of arrays in Kotlin, including the object-type array, represented by something called the array class.
