Unit Testing
In PHP
Quality is never an accident;
It is always the result of intelligent effort.

Why Unit testing
● It's a great idea!
● Makes you confident about impact
● Helps other developers understand
code onboarding easy
● Speeds up future development
process.
● It will force you to think things such
as "how am I going to test this?"
● Lets you sleep peacefully at night ;)
Lots of methodologies have come and gone, paradigms have changed but the
requirements are always the same; Make it good and make it fast.

Unit Testing Tools
● Php Unit: PHPUnit is a package of xUnit family(JUnit, NUnit, CppUnit, PyUnit).
● Amock : Amock is a mock object library written in PHP 5, inspired by
EasyMock.
● SimpleTest : Unit testing, web testing and mock objects framework.
Community support is not available any more
● Snap Test : SnapTest is a powerful unit testing framework. Simplify the unit
test process without sacrificing the agility tests provide.

Why PHPUnit
● It is the standard.
● PHPUnit is integrated in every PHP IDE and gives required reports.
● Now coming with new releases of all frameworks.
● Works fine with every continuous integration
● Actively maintained, stable and works great for every codebase, every
scenario and every way you want to write your tests.
● Provides better code coverage reports.
One Framework with all facilities to get unit testing done

Installation
Traditional way - PEAR
● Pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
● Pear install phpunit/package_name
The New Way - PHAR or Composer

Ways to do Unit testing using PHPUnit
● Assertion
● Data Provider
● Exceptions
● Fixtures(setUp() and tearDown())
● Database testing

Assertion
A predicate (a true–false statement) placed in a program to indicate that the
developer thinks that the predicate is always true at that place.
We asserted that true will assert to true ( if (true == true) ). There is no magic
here, what you see is what you get with assertions.
If we assert that false is true ( if (false == true) ), we would get a failing test

<?php
class AssertsTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
public function testTrueIsTrue(){
$foo = true;
$this->assertTrue($foo);
}
}
?>

Data Provider
A test method can accept arbitrary arguments. These arguments are to be
provided by a data provider method

<?php
class DataTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
/** @dataProvider additionProvider*/
public function testAdd($a, $b, $expected) {
$this->assertEquals($expected, $a + $b);
}
public function additionProvider(){
return array( array(0, 0, 0), array(0, 1, 1), array(1, 1, 3));
}
}
?>

Exceptions
By default, PHPUnit converts PHP errors, warnings, and notices that are
triggered during the execution of a test to an exception.
Using these exceptions, for an instance, you can expect a test to trigger a
PHP error

<?php
class ExceptionTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
/**
* @expectedException InvalidArgumentException
*/
public function testException(){
$this->setExpectedException('InvalidArgumentException');
}
}
?>

Fixtures
A test fixture is all the things that must be in place in order to run a test and
expect a particular outcome.
Four phases of a test:
Set up -- Setting up the test fixture.
Exercise -- Interact with the system under test.
Verify -- Determine whether the expected outcome has been obtained.
Tear down -- Tear down the test fixture to return to the original state.

<?php
class StackTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase{
protected $stack;
protected function setUp() {
$this->stack = array();
}
public function testEmpty(){
$this->assertTrue(empty($this->stack));
}
public function tearDown(){
print "nMySuite::tearDown()";
}
}
?>

Database Testing
The four stages of a database test
● Clean-Up Database
● Set up fixture
● Run Test, Verify outcome
● Teardown
