Glossary

• application unit tests  

  Unit tests that test the operation of code in a running app. These tests can ensure that an app’s data model, user-interface elements, and controllers are connected correctly and interact as expected. However, application unit tests are not user-interface tests. Application unit tests do not directly manipulate user-interface elements, and the running app does not initiate a run loop.



• logic unit test  

  Unit tests that test the operation of code in isolation. These tests ensure that units of code (a single procedure or a set of related procedures) behave as expected.



• run destination  

  The simulator, device, or architecture on which Xcode runs a product runs after builds it:

  • iOS: The run destination can be a simulator or an iOS device.

  • Mac: The run destination is your Mac device, in the 64-bit or 32-bit architectures.



• test case  

  A set of criteria that determines whether one or more procedures function correctly. See test case method.



• test case method  

  An Objective-C method that calls one or more procedures to test the correct operation of the unit. When the unit behaves incorrectly, the test case fails. When a test case fails, it calls a test result macro to report the failure.



• test suite  

  A SenTestCase subclass. A test suite contains one or more test cases. See test case.
