Agile Swift: Swift Programming Using Agile Tools and Techniques
Make your Swift apps agile and sound with this short step by step guide. You'll learn about unit testing, mocking and continuous integration and how to get these key ingredients running in your Swift projects. This book also looks at how to write your Swift apps using test driven development (TDD).
Agile practices have made major inroads in iOS development, however it’s very unusual to see something as basic as unit testing on a Swift application. Done correctly, Agile development results in a significant increase in development efficiency and a reduction in the number of defects.
Apple has released unit testing and code coverage frameworks for Swift development in XCode. Up until now getting unit testing up and running in Swift was not for the faint-hearted. Thankfully now, there is no excuse other than a lack of information on where to get started.
iOS developers are faced with their own set of problems such as tightly coupled code, fragmentation, immature testing tools all of which can be solved using existing Agile tools and techniques. Swift Programming Using Agile Tools and Techniques is your solution to handling these tasks.

The book is a great introduction to understand the concepts of Agile testing and Test Driven Development methodology. A lot of good examples were provide in explaining the concepts. The language used is pretty straightforward. Unlike many technical books about programming that’ll either put you to sleep or make you grab your hair, this book does a very decent job in being straight to point. As a newbie to swift programming, this book taught me a lot of new stuff, especially limitations of Swift language when it comes to testing. My only problem is that at times the author missed detail in some examples that may send you scrambling for clues to understand. Apart from that, the book was a delight to read.

A shallow book that only covers some basic introductions. I just read it in less than an hour. Half of the book describes creating projects and files in Xcode or Ubuntu and connecting outlets and the other half some super basic stuff. no architecture or test engineering. The swift codes are also so naive. It's like a ten-years-old's draft. I would never recommend this nonsense.
