Course description

phpspec: a tool for unit testing? Sure... but, oof, it's so much cooler than that! Yes, just like with our phpunit tutorial, when we finally launch our dinosaur park... during a hurricane... on a Friday night, we do not want all the dinosaurs to escape. But, phpspec goes one step beyond "just writing tests": it helps you think about the design of your classes first through "specifications" and "examples". 

Read more about the course

And as a side-effect, yes! You get testscode generation and, with a little bit of work, a nyan cat to tell us if our tests pass:

  • Getting phpspec set up
  • What's a specification?
  • Writing examples
  • Generating code from our specifications! Nice!
  • Understanding matchers and writing out own for custom "assertions"
  • How does phpspec fit into TDD, BDD, PHPUnit & Behat?
  • Demystifying the ObjectBehavior class
  • The red, green, refactor cycle
  • Testing exceptions
  • Prophecy & test doubles! Dummies, stubs, spies & mocks
  • The let() method for set up
