What are the best tools for unit testing iphone applications? [closed]

Question

Wondering which tool is considered the best/standard and what the pros/cons are for the various unit testing tools that are available. The tools I'm aware of so far are:

• Google Toolbox for Mac
• OCUnit which seems to be the winner for objective-c, but some folks have had trouble with on the iphone
• rbiphonetest which Dr Nic comments on here

Of course I'd love to learn about any I've missed.

Answer 1

Google toolbox for Mac(GTM) is a superset of OCUnit. It adds more assert macros, and also has a support for UI testing. OCMock is how you can incorporate mock objects into your unit testing environment.

I have just recently created a project and file template for creating static libraries that also has built-in support for unit testing. You can read about it:

And the templates are located at:

http://github.com/keremk/iphone-static-library-project-template/tree/master

The file template gives you an easy way to add a unit test class with all the necessary OCMock and GTM/OCUnit headers.
