If you want to be sure that your software works properly, you need to test it continuously. Automated tests save you from constantly pressing F5 in the browser and using debug statements like var_dump() in your code.
They are also cheaper than manual tests and easier to implement than you might think. How do I test my code with as little effort as possible? How do I execute as few lines of code as possible to test what I am really interested in? And what does all this have to do with clean code?
In this presentation you will learn why PHPUnit should not be missing in your toolbox.
I most recently presented "PHPUnit for Shopware Developers" at the Shopware Community Day on .
My name is Sebastian Bergmann and I am the creator of PHPUnit, the industry-standard testing framework that has greatly improved the professionalism of PHP software development.
As founding partner of and consultant with The PHP Consulting Company (thePHP.cc), I assist teams in adopting PHPUnit, optimizing its use, refining development workflows, and writing more testable code.
More events where you can meet me are listed here.
My interactive online training courses are designed to provide you with practical knowledge that you can apply immediately. The next ones starting soon are listed here.
This presentation is part of a series in which I introduce specific PHP framework communities to the latest improvements and features of PHPUnit, demonstrating how these updates can enhance their daily testing workflows and development processes.
"PHPUnit 10 for Symfony Developers", "PHPUnit for Shopware Developers", and "PHPUnit 12 für Contao/Symfony-Entwickler:innen" are tailored to a particular community while covering the essential updates and best practices that make testing more effective and efficient.
From to , I will be in Munich at the International PHP Conference. There I will give the presentations "30 Years of Code, 25 Years of Tests: A Journey Through Code and Community" and "Modern PHP Development".
