Xcode: TEST vs DEBUG preprocessor macros

Question

When creating a new project with unit tests, Xcode sets the build configuration to Debug for the Test scheme (same for the Run scheme).

Should I differentiate betwee

Answer 1

Look at environment variables to see if unit tests are running. Similar to Robert's answer but I only check once for performance sake.

+ (BOOL)isRunningTests {
   static BOOL runningTests;
   static dispatch_once_t onceToken;

   // Only check once
   dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
      NSDictionary* environment = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] environment];
      NSString* injectBundle = environment[@"XCInjectBundle"];
      NSString* pathExtension = [injectBundle pathExtension];
      runningTests = ([pathExtension isEqualToString:@"octest"] ||
                      [pathExtension isEqualToString:@"xctest"]);
   });
   return runningTests;
}
