Linde002::PHP

Sebastian Bergmann is giving his tutorial about Quality Assurance in PHP projects. He’s made an interesting point when he said that the focus of PHP developers went from “make it work” to “make it good”. The community has grown to a point where we can make fast, scalable & secure applications work so the next step would be make it qualitatively good. This is especially true when you look at enterprise projects.

As is to be expected with Sebastian he’s focusing quite a lot on PHPUnit and explaining how to write and use unit tests. And, as is to be expected, every time I vow to myself that I’ve got to start writing unit tests. It’s an awesome piece of technology.

I was really excited by the selenium bit, I’d heard the name mentioned a couple of times during the last few months but the live demo grabbed me.  I’ve got to try it out sometime soon.
