Everything would be smooth and easy, except that Swift is not Objective-C. Supplying test doubles is incredibly easy in Objective-C, where the central mechanism is messages. You could send any message to any object. In case you had previous experience mocking on Objective-C using OCMock or OCMockito — forget it.

Additional setup: The cuckoo installation process requires adding a new run script into your test target build phases. Include the absolute path to each file and the framework that will generate mocks in this script. Import the generated file into the project once, and then re-generate it to keep it up to date. Class name starts from the word ‘Mock’ — each test double you can use as mock, stub, or spy.

SwiftMockGeneratorForXcode
An Xcode extension (plugin) to generate Swift test doubles automatically.
Spoiler! It’s not a library but an Xcode plugin that helps solve the same problem — generating test doubles. SwiftMockGeneratorForXcode is an exception in this list of frameworks. Instead of being integrated into the project, this generator can only be added as an extension to Xcode. Also, you won’t have any custom verifiers or matchers, do all assertions using the XCTest framework.
