Training: Advanced PHPUnit

Advanced PHPUnit

PHPUnit is the standard test automation tool for PHP. This training teaches the advanced use of PHPUnit in real projects. In addition to testing object interactions and page effects, you will also learn, for example, how to avoid risky tests and work with code coverage information.

Learning Objectives

• You can also test difficult scenarios such as the interaction of objects
• You can fix the problems that underlie risky tests
• You can find code that is not yet tested with the help of PHPUnit

Target Audience

This training is aimed at participants who have practical experience with test automation and want to learn how to successfully implement difficult tests with PHPUnit, as required in everyday project work.

Requirements

Prerequisites are practical experience with PHPUnit and knowledge of object-oriented programming in PHP. The necessary basics are taught in Test Automation with PHPUnit and Advanced OOP.
