Good tutorial.
Iā€™m a old school IBM i developer trying to learn iOS/Swift and youā€™ve convinced me to try to encompass TDD from the start instead of deferring testing to the ā€˜endā€™ of development.

The course is wrongly promoted as a Swift 3 iOS 10 course, it was actually recorded for iOS 9 and Swift 2!

It seems that I was confused by the authorā€™s use of the iOS 9.3 Simulator in the first videos. The course uses Swift 3.

The projects in this video series were created using Xcode 8.3 and Swift 3. You can verify this by downloading and opening any of the course materials from any video after the introduction, including the free video PART 2: Test Basics, with Xcode 8.3.

Perhaps youā€™re confused with Xcode 9, which was just recently released? If you open one of these projects with Xcode 9, it will give a warning about ā€œConversion to Swift 4 is availableā€ but should still build and run. This course was created before Xcode 9, however, so ā€œyour mileage may varyā€ regarding full compatibility.

For the best experience, use Xcode 8.3 and Swift 3 when working through this video series. :]

I was probably confused by your use of the iOS 9.3 Simulator and that you left the target as iOS 9. See these videos:

Take for example lesson 2 minute -16:15 the movie clearly shows an iOS 9.3 simulator https://videos.raywenderlich.com/courses/57-beginning-ios-unit-and-ui-testing/lessons/2
Another one lesson 3 minute -7:55 again iOS 9.3 https://videos.raywenderlich.com/courses/57-beginning-ios-unit-and-ui-testing/lessons/3
Lesson 4 minute -7:37 https://videos.raywenderlich.com/courses/57-beginning-ios-unit-and-ui-testing/lessons/4 again iOS 9.3
Lesson 5 minute -8:58 https://videos.raywenderlich.com/courses/57-beginning-ios-unit-and-ui-testing/lessons/5

Iā€™ve edited my comment to reflect this.
