Agenda:

• 8:00pm: Synchronous Unit Tests - by Maciej

About the Topics:

• The Marauder's Map on iOS
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.” Kale will be sharing about Apple’s Indoor Positioning through Core Location, which uses Wi-Fi and signals to detect a user’s location within an indoor area. Check out how he and his sidekick, Thongz the Fullstack Alchemist of STB, are using it to build a Marauder’s Map prototype!

• Synchronous Unit Tests
Maciej will be sharing on Synchronous Unit Tests. Mobile applications are usually multi-threaded. We perform UI operations on the main thread and dispatch heavy tasks (e.g. network requests, JSON parsing, writing to a file on a disk) to background threads. If we wanted to test an object that uses a background thread to perform work, we would use an XCTestExpectation and wait for an async operation to finish. Is there another option to test it?
