# Test or Go Fishing — how to write better Swift for iOS

<p>This post contains the slides from my <a href="https://www.hipo.ro/locuri-de-munca/locuri_de_munca/91116/TechTalks--Timisoara/Software-Development-Conference?ref=pardel.dev">TechTalks Timisoara</a> talk - here is the abstract:</p>

<blockquote>
  Whilst not a panacea for your development troubles (but certainly a headache for many), Test Driven Development (or any of its incarnations) can prove something of a silver bullet if done correctly and consistently. Cleaner code and shorter QA cycles are two of the best benefits.<br/>
  <br/>
  In this talk, Paul will get you started with TDD in Swift, best practices and tools available. We'll be looking at prototyping & writing tests in Xcode Playgrounds before migrating to a project, the benefit of writing various types of tests and using 3rd party frameworks.
