Wait, someone built ANOTHER dinosaur park with ZERO tests!?!? I've seen this movie before and it's up to us: to add a rich set of tests before the dinos come for us...
But seriously: testing is great. It's not only a tool for preventing bugs, it's also a development philosophy that can help you write code that's more focused on what you actually want to build.
In this tutorial, we'll get you to super-hero status of unit testing, including:
- Basic unit testing
- Test-Driven-Development: how to do it, when to do it!
- Using data providers to run tests over and over again with different input
- Mocking and test doubles! Creating mocks in PHPUnit
- The PHPUnit executable and configuration
- Testing for exceptions
What about "integration" and "functional" testing? Stay tuned for the next tutorials in this series!
