@InderKumarRathore One of Custom Dump's main tools is XCTAssertNoDifference, which provides a nice, human-readable version of XCTAssertEqual. It requires XCTest Dynamic Overlay to define test tools inside a library target. You can learn more about the library here: https://github.com/pointfreeco/xctest-dynamic-overlay

It's a very lightweight interface to XCTest, though, so it should compile quite fast and not be a burdensome dependency to bring in. Do you have any concerns?

Also, I'm going to convert this to a discussion since we use issues for bug tracking and this is more of a Q&A.
