Below are some questions from our webinar answered by Paweł, Łukasz and Anastasia.

Q: How I get the Live Templates from this webinar? Do I need to configure the Live Templates?
A: You can grab them on the GitHub. Just do File | Import settings… and that’s it, no extra configuration needed!

Q: How to create my own Live Template?
A: Just go to Preferences | Live Templates, click ‘+’ sign or just press Cmd+N to generate a new live template. Set template’s text, description, abbreviation, applicable scope and edit template’s variables. That’s it!

Q: What is mock?
A: There’s a great article on mocks that will get you into the subject in no time!

Q: How are the used libraries related to Kiwi? How does Specta compare to Kiwi?
A: Kiwi is a separate framework that comes with its own set of matching macros and Specta is combined with Expecta and other testing frameworks like OCMockito. Actually Specta and Kiwi are nearly similar, however there’s one small difference that is a huge plus on Specta’s side – focusing on tests. You can tell Specta to run just one given test (or a group of tests – you can focus it/context/describe blocks). And it works with running specs from command line (if you’d want to run single test from command line you’d have to prepare a special Scheme, which again – time). You can read more on this in latest issue of Objc.io.
