I will give you a practical introduction to test-driven development in this course. I will show you how to get started, demonstrate the benefits of TDD, and explain why it has become my preferred way of programming.

Presented by Gemma Anible @ellotheth Presented on October 23, 2014 The nightmare is at your doorstep! You’ve been tasked with extending a legacy PHP web application, a mash of raw SQL and HTML and PHP all inside out and backwards and spread over a several dozen (or hundred!) files. You know getting the system under test will push the project forward, but where do you start? Come learn a slow, careful approach to incorporating automated unit tests into untestable code. See how your tests can slip in unobtrusively to take over your codebase from the inside, eating away at the spaghetti and creating a solid platform for future development. Meet Gemma Anible Gemma is a software engineer, video gamer and recovering classical violinist who has been developing PHP web applications since before PHP5 (and applications in C, .NET and Delphi since before then). She is passionate about using pragmatic processes and tooling to support developers of all types and skillsets, and her level of excitement over learning new dev technology tends to correlate strongly with her level of caffeination. Gemma and her husband live with their two dogs in New Mexico, where they climb volcanoes for fun.

Using a step-by-step example in Java, this article provides a practical example of how to use test-driven development (TDD) to divide, test, and conquer larger problems when coding.

Tiffany Larson walks through how to identify a person's learning style and what techniques can be leveraged in order to create the most productive learning environment.

These days you read a ton of articles about all the advantages of test-driven development (TDD), and hear a lot of talks at tech conferences that tell you to: “Do the tests!”, and how cool it is to…

During the VueJS Summit 2018 workshops I talked to Edd Yerburgh in person and showed him the way I was testing my applications, and after some encouragement, here I am, writing this article 😅 I hope…

Wes Reisz sits down and chats with Uncle Bob about The Clean Architecture, the origins of the Software Craftsperson Movement, Livable Code, and even ethics in software.

Writing crystallizes thought and thought produces action.

Getting started with test-driven development, or TDD, is often the hardest part. This article helps you get going with a detailed walkthrough on setting up and writing tests for Vue.js.

PhpStorm supports all the major PHP testing frameworks: PHPUnit, Codeception, Behat, and PHPSpec.Recently we've published a series of short videos about running PHPUnit and Codeception tests in Ph

In the latest months I wrote multiple times, in different projects, code migrating PHPUnit toward major version 6. This upgrade is harder than the previous one, since in this version it was introduced a big breaking change: all classes got (finally!) namespaced. This means that any usage of those classes in your project needs to be updated. It may seem a simple find & replace job, but since you need to introduce at least one use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase line at the top of each one of your test classes, it’s a boring and a little more than trivial task; also, upgrading it in a single big jump may not be feasible or prudent, especially in the case of open source or distributed libraries, where backward compatibility and support for old PHP versions must be ensured.

Developers tend to not write tests, the code is really hard to test or we simply don’t have time to write tests. For the last 3 years I was always struggling to test our software. These are merely…

Let's take a fresh look at PHPUnit - the de-facto TDD tool for PHP. We'll explain TDD on an example, implement code coverage, and more!

Recently there’s been a great deal of discussion as to the merits of isolated testing versus integration and acceptance testing. Some proponents argue that integration testing far outweighs the value of isolated testing. While this is a perfectly valid position, I feel oversimplifies the complexity of testing in the same way that the “isolated testing […]
