  1. Title and Overview

Project Name: Automated Testing for macOS Applications Objective: Implement unit and integration tests for macOS applications using XCTest and other testing frameworks.

  1. Goals and Non-Goals

Goals: • Write unit tests for core application logic. • Automate integration tests to verify end-to-end workflows.

Non-Goals: • Replace XCTest with an alternative testing framework.

  1. Design Overview • Input: Application source code and test cases. • Output: Automated test scripts and test results. • Architecture: • Unit Tests: Validate individual components. • Integration Tests: Verify interactions between components.

  2. System Design
    1. Write Unit Tests: • Use XCTest to write and execute test cases.
    2. Set Up CI Integration: • Automate test execution in CI/CD pipelines.
    3. Validate Results: • Ensure tests pass across multiple macOS versions.
  3. Testing Strategy • Write tests for edge cases and common workflows. • Integrate test coverage reports.
