One of the nice things Ruby on Rails does to help encourage unit testing is to automatically create the unit test target when a new project is created.  Also, when a new model is created, Rails creates a stub unit test class for the model.

I would like to see something similar for Xcode.  When creating an application, framework, dylib, or static lib target, it would be nice to have Xcode automatically create a corresponding dependent unit test target, properly configured and ready to run.  This way, a user can just start adding unit test classes to the test target and start testing without any configuration hacking.
