Introduction to Test Driven Development for PHP Developers

Would you like to learn about Test Driven Development and become a better PHP developer? 

“Test-driven development” refers to a style of programming in which three activities are tightly interwoven:

  • Coding
  • Testing (in the form of writing unit tests)
  • Design (in the form of refactoring)

It can be briefly described by the following set of rules:

  • write a “single” unit test describing an aspect of the program
  • run the test, which should fail because the program lacks that feature
  • write “just enough” code, the simplest possible, to make the test pass
  • “refactor” the code until it conforms to the simplicity criteria
  • repeat, “accumulating” unit tests over time

This video will show you how to follow Test Driven Development and use the PHPUnit library.
