What are mocking and stubbing techniques for ActivityKit in Swift?

Mocking and stubbing are essential techniques in unit testing for isolating the unit of work and controlling the behavior of dependencies. In the context of ActivityKit in Swift, these techniques help simulate interactions with activities without executing actual business logic, making tests run faster and more stable.

// Example of mocking an Activity in Swift import XCTest import ActivityKit class ActivityKitTests: XCTestCase { var activity: Activity! override func setUp() { super.setUp() let activityAttributes = ActivityAttributes() activity = try! Activity.request( attributes: activityAttributes, contentState: ActivityContentState(), pushType: .token) } func testActivityStart() { // Mocking the behavior of the Activity instance XCTAssertNotNil(activity) XCTAssertEqual(activity.state, .running) // Simulate a stubbed update activity.update(ActivityContentState()) XCTAssertEqual(activity.contentState, ActivityContentState()) } override func tearDown() { activity = nil super.tearDown() } }
