About the Topics:

• XCUITest + Cucumberish: Executing BDD feature files in Xcode
This is a follow up on a talk Kenneth gave back in 2016 (XCUITest + Gherkins). With the basics of XCUITest out of the way, he will introduce the Cucumberish library that helps to improve your existing XCUITest suite.
Cucumberish segment will interest you if

• you want to know how "Given Then When" Behavioural Driven Tests can help your iOS Tests
• you are interested in executing "Given Then When" BDD Feature files in Xcode
• you are not convinced with external cross platform testing tool like Appium and Calabash (because you want to write your tests using Swift)
• you want to bring this learning back to work. Feel free to ask more questions during QnA

• Writing High-Performance Swift Code
Thongchai (Luke) will be sharing about dimensions of performance for Swift language, starting from the basics of allocation, reference counting, and method dispatch. Then he will share stories and ways the compiler can optimise our code and how we can take advantage of it.Finally, he will use Hopper disassembler to inspect how the compiler modifies our code.
