We decompose software systems into smaller subsystems. To avoid tight coupling, one such subsystem must not tell another what to do. They should collaborate using events instead. When we can recreate the state of an application by processing the log of these events, then we have implemented Event Sourcing.
This event log also comes in handy when we test our software. Come to this presentation to learn best practices for testing software systems that use modern software architecture patterns such as Event Collaboration and Event Sourcing.
I most recently presented “Event-Based Testing” at betterCode() PHP on . Previous events include International PHP Conference.
I am Sebastian Bergmann. I started writing PHPUnit in 2000 and still maintain it. In the same year I gave my first talk at a PHP conference. PHPUnit has been installed more than a billion times from Packagist, and a new major version comes out every February.
As a co-founder of The PHP Consulting Company (thePHP.cc), I work with teams on their tests: on test strategy and test design, on testable code, on fast test runs and on upgrades to current versions of PHPUnit. More on this under consulting and coaching.
Where you can meet me next is listed under events. The next dates of my training courses are in the training overview.
On , I will be in Frankfurt am Main at the PIMCORE Community Dev Days. There I will give the presentation “Speed is a byproduct of trust”.
