[xctest] Terminology: What to call "swift-corelibs-xctest" and "Apple XCTest"

[Brian_Gesiak]

Hello all,

I've been referring to the project hosted at
GitHub - apple/swift-corelibs-xctest: The XCTest Project, A Swift core library for providing unit test support as
"swift-corelibs-xctest", and the project shipped alongside Xcode 7.2
as "Apple XCTest".

What are the canonical names for these projects? I'd like to agree on
common terminology to avoid confusion in the future.

Over the past few weeks I've seen several names for
https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-xctest:

- Open source XCTest
- Swift XCTest
- Linux XCTest
- swift-corelibs-xctest

And several names for the XCTest framework shipped alongside Xcode:

- Darwin XCTest
- Apple XCTest

How do you refer to these projects? What do you think is the simplest
way to refer to them, in a way that clearly differentiates them?

Personally, I prefer calling them "swift-corelibs-xctest" and "Apple
XCTest", although I do think that "swift-corelibs-xctest" is a
mouthful.

I believe we have been saying "Corelibs XCTest", but agree it would be nice to have a standard labelling.

Sorry to resurrect an older thread —

Is there any benefit to dropping the “XC” from the front and coming up with something simple and unprefixed? (I assume that the “XC" is a reference to Xcode)

Perhaps something like “CoreTest” or even just “Test”?

thanks,

Tony

We’ve also used “Darwin Foundation” vs “Swift Core Libraries Foundation.”

I’m open to suggestions on this from everyone. I haven’t found a set of terms that I’m really happy with yet.
