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". And as a side-effect, yes! You get tests, code 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
Let's finally design a dinosaur park that will scale with every sequel!
