Testing in PHP
Lesson 1 - Introduction to web application testing in PHP
The tutorial explains why it's necessary to test software and why it needs to be done by a machine. Describes the basic test types, introduces the v-model.
Lesson 2 - Introduction to unit tests in PHP and PHPUnit installation
In the tutorial, we'll install the Codeception test framework for PHP and generate our first unit test for PHPUnit.
Lesson 3 - PHP Testing - Finishing Unit Tests
In a PHP tutorial, we'll cover a simple class with tests and run them. We'll learn individual assert methods and test exceptions.
Lesson 4 - PHPUnit DataProvider and BestPractices
In the tutorial, we'll learn to use the @dataProvider annotation, test private and protected methods, and mention best practices for PHP testing.
Lesson 5 - PHP Testing - Xdebug and coverage reports
We'll learn to debug PHP applications at runtime using Xdebug and configure it in this tutorial. We'll generate test coverage and code quality reports.
Lesson 6 - Dependency Injection and Test doubles
In the tutorial, we'll explain the Dependency Injection design pattern and introduce the test doubles - Dummy, Fake, Stub, Spy and, of course, Mock.
Lesson 7 - MockBuilder and mock / stub methods
In this tutorial, we'll proceed to different implementations of mock objects and stub / mock methods in PHPUnit.
Lesson 8 - Fake, Codeception Stub and AspectMock
In this tutorial, we'll learn to change stub's implementation using the Fake test double, introduce the Codeception PHPunit wrapper, and AspectMock.
Lesson 9 - Unit Tests of Commercial Applications I
In this tutorial, we'll test the date and time in PHP using PHPUnit to simulate its changes and test how libraries response to them.
Lesson 10 - Unit tests of Commercial Applications II
In the tutorial, we'll test random value generators, show a database wrapper test, and test multiple exceptions through anonymous functions.
Lesson 11 - Unit tests of Commercial Applications III
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to submit forms using PHPUnit, including simulating file uploads. We'll show you how to assert images with tolerance.
Lesson 12 - Introduction to acceptance tests in PHP and creating GUI
In this tutorial, we'll begin an introduction to acceptance testing in PHP (clicking through our app automatically) and create a form for our class.
Lesson 13 - PHP testing - Creating Selenium acceptance tests
In this tutorial, we'll cover a simple calculator in PHP with acceptance tests in the Codeception framework and run them using the Selenium server.
Lesson 14 - PhpBrowser vs. WebDriver and Selenium server configuration
In the tutorial, we'll run acceptance tests for a web application programmed in PHP on PhpBrowser and WebDriver via the Selenium server which we configure.
Lesson 15 - PHP Testing - Selenium WebDriver syntax overview
The tutorial details the Selenium WebDriver syntax of the Codeception test framework. Assertions, comments, grabbers, waiting, browser control.
Lesson 16 - PHP Testing - More Selenium WebDriver Syntax
This tutorial details the Selenium WebDriver syntax of the Codeception PHP framework. Controlling the browser, forms, sessions, and multiuser testing.
Lesson 17 - PHP Testing - Useful AcceptanceTester class extensions
We'll extend the AcceptanceTester class of useful methods for our projects such as printing to STDERR, time, signing in, reading emails, db, CSS support.
Lesson 18 - PHP Testing - Acceptance tests of commercial applications I
In this tutorial, we'll return to the problems with waiting and show several interesting test codes from real commercial PHP applications.
Lesson 19 - PHP Testing - Acceptance tests of commercial applications II
In this tutorial, we'll introduce more real-world codes dealing with interesting situations in commercial scenarios. We'll finish by simulating a payment.
Lesson 20 - PHP Testing - Quality Assurance, CAN PIG RIDE, and ISTQB
In this PHP tutorial about testing web apps, we'll explain terms such as SLA, QA, SQA, go through CAN PIG RIDE and ISTQB practices (pesticides paradox).
Lesson 21 - PHP Testing - Business Standards and Usability
The ISO 9001 and IEEE 829 business standards, verification vs. validation, test. approaches (regressive tests...), user interface tests, UX vs. UI.
Lesson 22 - PHP Testing - Performance testing using cloud services
This tutorial will introduce performance testing. We'll learn to test that our PHP application can handle a given number of users working simultaneously,
Lesson 23 - PHP Testing - Practicing Apache JMeter
In this PHP tutorial, we'll learn basics of using Apache JMeter and test our application by it, this time on localhost.
