SimpleTest: Because clicking forms is for suckers
SimpleTest is a unit testing framework for performing automated tests on your PHP code. This session hopes to provide some practical, hands-on information for developers about how to incorporate automated tests into their day-to-day workflow in order to produce cleaner, less buggy, and easier-to-maintain code.
Do any of the following sound like you?
* You have changed code at one place in your module that broke things in another place and you spent way too long trying to track down the problem (or worse, didn’t find it at all until your users started yelling?).
* You frequently (or not frequently enough ;)) waste dozens of minutes clicking around on all kinds of forms in order to test your module.
* Your module doesn’t have enough users to act as a QA team, so basically you’re it.
* You are paranoid to change anything in your code once it’s working since there are ooky edge cases, and you can’t ever remember what they all are.
* Thinking about developing your module gives you nausea and/or shortness of breath. ;)
If so, you should attend this session. There is a better way!
