My colleagues @briancroom, @grynspan, @chefski, @Dennis and I have been working on this in recent months and have some early progress we're excited to share. Inspired by what’s possible with Swift macros, we’ve built a testing library API that can: Provide granular details about individual tests using an attached macro named @Test. This enables many new features like exp...
