Session: Testing Online Crazy Glue: Strategies for building testable PHP applications
Wednesday 15.40 - 16.30
Room: Keyboard Cat
PHP won the early battles for the web because it is online crazy glue. Testing applications written in PHP can be challenging without some guidance as there is lots of info on how to use testing tools but very little info on how to build your application in such a way that it can be easily tested.
This talk will cover strategies that can be used to shape your application in such a way that you'll be making production pushes multiple times a day with complete confidence.
This session will cover some concepts necessary for testing: the power of loosely-coupled systems, environmental consistency, dependency injection, automation and pragmatic test choices
Expectations
Participants should be familiar with Test-Driven Development concepts
