Getting Started with PHP Unit Testing Course

Introduction to Unit Testing

Is the foundation of our testing would. Unit tests are written to verify that individual modules, these small units of code, are functioning the way that you expect. They do NOT talk to outside components such as a database or API. If you're familiar with Interfaces, it's kind of the same idea. If we pass the correct information, we should get back the expected results.

Test Driven Development

When you start learning about testing, you very quickly start hearing about a practice known as Test-Driven Development, or TDD. It's the practice of: write a test for a small module (or unit) of code as if it worked already. Write the code until the tests pass. Repeat until you have tests for every unit of code you have written.

Testing Existing Projects

We don't always have the option to build things perfectly the first time, and we're always learning, so that perfect way is going to change. A great thing about PHPUnit is its wide adoption. Almost every framework comes shipped with PHPUnit or allows for easy integration. You can also add PHPUnit as a separate package for any object-oriented application.
