What concept/project/series have you decided to take on for the duration of the "Learn in Public" challenge?
One thing that was quickly mentioned in bootcamp while I was learning was Testing. I know just enough to understand what it is and why it’s useful, but not enough to actually write my own tests. I think I would want to start with an overview of Test Driven Development and then move on to building a simple app while incorporating Tests as the app is built and finally add tests to an existing application. I think this last option would resonate the most with others, because I have lots of apps but maybe only 1 has tests and I have a feeling that others are the same way.
Why did you pick this focus?
My current company has tons of files for tests and when I add a feature I feel lost on how to add tests that would be useful. I need to get better at this.
Why do you think sharing your journey in public will help others?
I don't often see many tutorials especially for people beginning their journey on how to write tests. I don't even see a mention of it most of the time. However being in the work world I see how it can bring value to people learning to know that it can be useful to write tests.
Share the the title you landed on for the series you're going to create as well as the "entries" you anticipate creating/tackling.
Why and How to write tests for iOS development before and after the app
Brilliant topic, Claudia! I was close to doing this myself so I will definitely be consuming what you produce. (BTW: hello from Moms Can:Code and Moms In Tech (Slack). I knew I recognized your name from somewhere...) :)

I haven't seen very many tutorials on writing tests, so I'm definitely looking forward to your posts. Thanks for tackling this!
