PHP Unit Testing

November 27th, 2009

 

Unit testing has normally meant loading your application into Firefox and Internet Explorer and ensuring the main functionality still works.

 

With our booking and events management system written in OO PHP and the fast growth of the company the ability to test each individual section of code in a very detailed level without affecting the delivery dates for our clients in very important. With that in mind PHPUnit gives the opportunity to create and organise unit tests for our websites to ensure that a large amount of testing covering functionality across the application can be run fast and often.

 

Barry Swaisland, Senior Developer says, “This new process being introduced here at Mango Studio means a more robust system that after every change will ensure the highest quality for our event bookings, voucher sales and back office administration. Both clients and end users can expect to benefit from this change”.
