An (Almost) TDD Workflow in Swift

This article presents a practical workflow for developers who struggle with writing tests before production code in Swift. It describes a strategy to break through the paralysis of strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) by writing small increments of production code first, then immediately writing tests to exercise that code. The author emphasizes setting up a side-by-side view in the IDE with tests on the left and code on the right, writing just enough code to spark test ideas, and gradually building up to full test-first development. The article uses a Core Data example with a DataHelper class to illustrate the process, making it relevant for iOS developers and those interested in software testing best practices.
