PHP Test-Driven Development with PHPUnit and Selenium

Writing manual tests in your browser wastes valuable time and leaves room for hidden bugs in your applications. Transitioning to automated testing ensures your code is robust, maintainable, and ready for production. This course guides you through the core concepts of software testing, taking you from manual verification to writing testable code from day one. You will master the fundamentals of unit, integration, and acceptance testing, allowing you to catch errors early and design software with confidence using the Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental differences between unit, integration, functional, and acceptance tests - Configure and run test suites using PHPUnit, utilizing modern attributes and assertions - Apply Test-Driven Development principles to design and build a structured MVC application from scratch - Create robust mock objects and stubs to isolate your code and test external API clients effectively - Automate browser interactions and validate user interfaces using Selenium WebDriver - Write clean, maintainable, and highly testable PHP code conforming to modern standards The journey begins with foundational testing definitions and PHPUnit setup before moving on to practical assertions, data providers, and mocking. You will then walk through the step-by-step creation of a real-world application, combining unit tests with automated browser testing to ensure complete coverage. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate PHP developers who want to adopt professional testing practices, with no prior testing experience required.
