Welcome!
This page is the home of my "Testable Database Interaction" presentation. I most recently delivered it at the International PHP Conference on .
Testable Database Interaction
Designing software systems and writing code is much easier when you do not have to process input, produce output, or interact with other systems such as database servers. It would also be pretty boring.
In this presentation, you will learn best practices and see design patterns in action that allow you to interact with your database without going crazy. In other words: you will learn how to implement testable database interaction and how to test it.

About me
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.
Upcoming events
In case you missed my presentation at the International PHP Conference, there are plenty more chances coming up to meet me.
For example, on , I will present "Von AmigaBASIC bis KI: Eine persönliche Zeitreise durch 4 Jahrzehnte Softwareentwicklung" at the Entwickler Summit.
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.
