NSUnit

NSUnit is a unit testing framework for Objective-C projects. NSUnit builds on top of SenTestingKit and provides a more Objective-C friendly API, particularly for testing against Foundation classes.

The Assert Class

The Assert class is the main test entry point to NSUnit. Tests are generally in the form:

 [Assert that:<subject> <verb>:<condition>]

Some examples:

 [Assert that:name isNot:[AnEmpty string]];
 [Assert that:name isNot:[Equal to:@"Omar"]];
 [Assert that:name is:[Equal to:"McNulty"]];
 [Assert that:someArrayOfInts areAll:[Less than:@20]];

Handling primitives with the The article

Primitive types such as doubles and ints can be automatically converted to their appropriate NSObject type using the The article.

Some examples:

 [Assert that:[The int:i] is:[Equal to:@25]];
 [Assert that:[The double:d] is:[Less than:@10]];

Ensuring Failure

NSUnit's Assert class provides a method for ensuring test failures. The fails:(void (^)(void)) method ensures that the supplied block raises an exception. For example

[Assert fails:^{
    [WebService connectToUrl:nil];
}];

Verbs

The following verbs are available:

is - The condition evaluates to true.
isNot - The condition evaluates to false.
areAll - Each value in the provided collection evaluates to true.
areAllNot - Each value in the provided collection evaluates to false.

Conditions

The following conditions are available:

Equal to: - The subject equals the provided value.

TheSame as: - The subject is the exact same object as the provided value.

Less than: - The subject is less than the provided value. Both values must be non-nil numbers.
Less thanOrEqual: - The subject is less than or equal to the provided value. Both values must be non-nil numbers.

Greater than: - The subject is greater than the provided value. Both values must be non-nil numbers.
Greater thanOrEqual: - The subject is greater than or equal to the provided value. Both values must be non-nil numbers.

Between low: and: - The subject is a number between the two provided values, inclusive. All values must be non-nil numbers.

AnEmpty array: - The subject is an empty array.
AnEmpty string: - The subject is an empty string.

More examples can be found in NSUnit's unit tests.
