This is a general testing training for PHP developers. It gives a deep overview of different testing practices and levels of test automation. Students will learn how to implement tests depending on application requirements. This training includes browser-based acceptance tests, framework-based functional tests, unit and integration tests. But before determining how to test an application it should be discovered what is important to test. By writing down specifications and turning them into tests using BDD students will learn how to write tests effectively, to separate specification from implementation.
