Most unit testing tutorials just show how to start writing basic unit tests. However, implementing unit tests in large enterprise architecture can’t be that simple. This training will guide you from basics to advanced, introducing students to unit, functional, and integration testing concepts.

Unit tests check system components individually, and integration tests act as concrete to verify integration between different parts of a system. Functional tests run on top of a PHP framework (Laravel, Symfony, Zend, Yii) and cover the system from the upside using public interfaces. We will also cover TDD, BDD, ATDD concepts to learn how to build tests before the code and design a scalable and testable application first.

We will have Codeception as the only tool to incorporate all levels of testing and provide a highly effective API for writing and maintaining PHP tests.
