The Swift (and Objective-C) testing framework.
Quick is a behavior-driven development framework for Swift and Objective-C.
Inspired by RSpec, Specta, and Ginkgo.
// Swift
import Quick
import Nimble
class TableOfContentsSpec: QuickSpec {
override class func spec() {
describe("the 'Documentation' directory") {
it("has everything you need to get started") {
let sections = Directory("Documentation").sections
expect(sections).to(contain("Organized Tests with Quick Examples and Example Groups"))
expect(sections).to(contain("Installing Quick"))
}
context("if it doesn't have what you're looking for") {
it("needs to be updated") {
let you = You(awesome: true)
expect{you.submittedAnIssue}.toEventually(beTruthy())
}
}
}
}
}
Quick comes together with Nimble — a matcher framework for your tests. You can learn why XCTAssert()
statements make your expectations unclear and how to fix that using Nimble assertions here.
Certain versions of Quick and Nimble only support certain versions of Swift. Depending on which version of Swift your project uses, you should use specific versions of Quick and Nimble. Use the table below to determine which versions of Quick and Nimble are compatible with your project.
Swift version | Quick version | Nimble version |
---|---|---|
Swift 5.2 | v3.0.0 or later | v9.0.0 or later |
Swift 4.2 / Swift 5 | v1.3.2 or later | v7.3.2 or later |
Swift 3 / Swift 4 | v1.0.0 or later | v5.0.0 or later |
Swift 2.2 / Swift 2.3 | v0.9.3 | v4.1.0 |
All documentation can be found in the Documentation folder, including detailed installation instructions for CocoaPods, Carthage, Git submodules, Swift Package Manager, and more. For example, you can install Quick and Nimble using CocoaPods by adding the following to your Podfile
:
# Podfile
use_frameworks!
target "MyApp" do
# Normal libraries
target 'MyApp_Tests' do
inherit! :search_paths
pod 'Quick'
pod 'Nimble'
end
end
You can also install Quick and Nimble using Swift Package Manager by adding the following to the dependencies section your Package.swift
:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/Quick/Quick.git", from: "7.0.0"),
.package(url: "https://github.com/Quick/Nimble.git", from: "12.0.0"),
],
Over ten-thousand apps use either Quick and Nimble however, as they are not included in the app binary, neither appear in “Top Used Libraries” blog posts. Therefore, it would be greatly appreciated to remind contributors that their efforts are valued by compiling a list of organizations and projects that use them.
Does your organization or project use Quick and Nimble? If yes, please add your project to the list.
Similar to projects using Quick, it would be nice to hear why people use Quick and Nimble. Are there features you love? Are there features that are just okay? Are there some features we have that no one uses?

Quick is a library that is only used for testing and should never be included in the binary submitted to App Store Connect.
Your app will be rejected if you do include Quick in the submitted binary because Quick uses private APIs to better integrate with Xcode.
Despite not being shipped to Apple, Quick does not and will never collect any kind of analytics or tracking.
