modernize-tests skillA

modernize-tests is agent-read markdown (skill) from tartinerlabs/skills: Modernize test suites to use modern Swift Testing features or migrate from XCTest..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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

Latest version
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/modernize-tests@git:20260713.ba4f7f8
Exact content
mdr add tartinerlabs/skills/modernize-tests@sha256:b036784a0d2bca48

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
