Implementation Status

This document lays out the structure of the Foundation project, and provides the current implementation status of each major feature.

Foundation is divided into groups of related functionality. These groups are currently laid out in the Xcode project, even though they are in a flat structure on disk.

As Foundation is a work in progress, not all methods and functionality are present. When implementations are completed, this list should be updated to reflect the current state of the library.

Table Key

Implementation Status
  • N/A: This entity is internal or private and implemented ad hoc; there are no guidelines in place to suggest what completion might look like
  • Unimplemented: This entity exists, but all functions and methods are NSUnimplemented()
  • Incomplete: Implementation of this entity has begun, but critical sections have been left NSUnimplemented()
  • Mostly Complete: All critical sections of this entity have been implemented, but some methods might remain NSUnimplemented()
  • Complete: No methods are left NSUnimplemented() (though this is not a guarantee that work is complete -- there may be methods that need overriding or extra work)
Test Coverage
  • N/A: This entity is internal and public tests are inappropriate, or it is an entity for which testing does not make sense
  • None: There are no unit tests specific to this entity; even if it is used indirectly in other unit tests, we should have tests targeting this entity in isolation
  • Incomplete: Unit tests exist for this entity, but there are critical paths that are not being tested
  • Substantial: Most, if not all, of this entity's critical paths are being tested

There is no Complete status for test coverage because there are always additional tests to be implemented. Even entities with Substantial coverage are missing tests (e.g. NSCoding conformance, NSCopying conformance, descriptions, etc.)
