Similar to Projects using Quick, it would be nice to hear why people use Quick and Nimble. Are there features you love? Are there features that are just okay? Are there some features we have that no one uses?

Testimonials

1. Quick got me excited about testing

  • Willow Alexander (@istx25), iOS engineer and Freelancer

Before I found the Quick community, I knew of testing but never actually got around to writing tests in my projects. I would always tell myself that I would write tests later but that later never came. It was either *too difficult or too time consuming to write tests.

Fortunately, when I found Quick, the easy-to-understand documentation got me started with Quick very quickly (get it? 💃). Not only that, Quick also helped me learn the important framework-independent principles of testing and writing so called testable code. These learnings have helped me write better code to this day and I use Quick in every new project I start.

In fact, I was so excited about Quick (and the community) that I joined the core team and now contribute to the English documentation, help answer questions as best I can, and help grow the community around Quick

2. I would not write Swift tests without it

  • Orta Therox (@orta), Engineer at Artsy

Quick and Nimble are the only way that I write tests for Swift code, they provide a consistent foundation with all of the other testing frameworks we use across different languages and systems. I recommend it as the only way to pragmatically write tests for Swift iOS projects.
