Overall, XCTest is a good choice for testing iOS functionality and apps at a basic unit level. In order to thoroughly test the logic, you must add many of those sorts of basic tests, which makes functional UI testing more appropriate for iOS apps. As I mentioned earlier, limited Programming Language Support and no cross platform compatibilities are the only major drawbacks.

We used Appium to do unit testing, but we felt that it was slow and had its own learning curve, so we decided to try XCTest; it seemed faster and more agile to use because we already had knowledge of iOS and the other advantages that I talk before, now all the team is using XCTest.
