Modernize test suites to use modern Swift Testing features or migrate from XCTest.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Modernize Tests
Test modernization refers to two potential actions: migrating from XCTest to Swift Testing, and updating existing Swift Testing tests to use recommended patterns.
XCTests should be migrated to Swift Testing when possible. However, not all XCTests can be migrated to Swift Testing.
- UI tests (those that use XCUIAutomation) cannot be written with Swift Testing, and must remain XCTests.
- XCTests that use the `measure { ... }` family of APIs for performance measurement cannot be migrated. However, other test methods within an XCTestCase that do not use XCTest performance APIs can be migrated.
## Migration Reference
### Imports
Replace `import XCTest` with `import Testing`. A file can import both if it contains mixed test content during incremental migration.
When removing `import XCTest`, check whether the file uses Foundation types (URL, CharacterSet, ProcessInfo, Data, etc.). XCTest re-exports Foundation, so add `import Foundation` if needed.
### Test Classes to Suites
Remove `XCTestCase` inheritance. Prefer structs over classes:
- `final class FoodTruckTests: XCTestCase { ... }` -> `struct FoodTruckTests { ... }`

How to install
mdr add artemnovichkov/xcode-skills/modernize-tests@sha256:880f46b4b39ca7d8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.9b8428c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
