Unit testing ?

• test smallest piece of code (unit)
• to verify its behavior is as expected
• exceptions are thrown
• code remains backwards compatible

3

Everyone should test !
• rule #1: you should test
• rule #2: see rule #1 (no excuses!!!)

• Why?
- tests are automated
- run over and over again
- detect ﬂaws, errors, mistakes, screw ups
- progress indication of the project
4

Why PHPUnit ?

• part of xUnit family
• ported by Sebastian Bergmann
• PEAR package
- pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
- pear install phpunit/PHPUnit

PHPUnit !== Atlassian Jira

Just making sure ;-)

<?php
My ﬁrst class
class SayHello
{
public $name;

public function __construct($name = 'nobody')
{
$this->name = $name;
}

public function speak()
{
return "Hello {$this->name}!";
}
}

7

<?php
Run it
require_once 'sayhello.php';

$hello = new SayHello();
echo $hello->speak();

// outputs Hello nobody!

8

<?php
Test it !
require_once 'sayhello.php';

class SayHelloTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
public function testSpeakWithoutParams ()
{
$hello = new SayHello();
$this->assertEquals("Hello nobody!", $hello->speak());
}

public function testSpeakWithParams ()
{
$hello = new SayHello('Marco');
$this->assertEquals("Hello Marco!", $hello->speak());
}
}

9

We’re good
$ phpunit SayHelloTest
PHPUnit 3.3.15 by Sebastian Bergmann.

..

Time: 0 seconds

OK (2 tests, 2 assertions)

10

It’s that simple !

11

Test Driven Development

• think about functionality
• think about testable functionality
• write functional tests
• write functionality

12

More testing

• data providers (@dataProvider)
• exception (@expectedException)
• ﬁxtures (setUp() and tearDown())
• doubles (mocks and stubs)
• database testing

13

Data Provider

• provides arbitrary arguments
- array
- object (that implements Iterator)
• annotated by @dataProvider provider
• multiple arguments

14

<?php
CombineTest
class CombineTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
/**
* @dataProvider provider
*/
public function testCombine($a, $b, $c)
{
$this->assertEquals($c, $a . ' ' . $b);
}

public function provider()
{
return array (
array ('Hello','World','Hello World'),
array ('Go','PHP','Go PHP'),
array ('This','Fails','This succeeds')
);
}
}

15

Testing CombineTest
# phpunit CombineTest CombineTest.php

..F

Time: 0 seconds

There was 1 failure:

1) testCombine(CombineTest) with data set #2 ('This', 'Fails',
'This succeeds')
Failed asserting that two strings are equal.
expected string <This succeeds>
difference < xxxxx???>
got string <This Fails>
/root/dev/phpunittutorial/CombineTest.php:9

FAILURES!
Tests: 3, Assertions: 3, Failures: 1.

16

Expected Exception

• testing exceptions
- that they are thrown
- are properly catched

17

OopsTest
<?php
class OopsTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
public function testOops()
{
try {
throw new Exception('I just made a booboo');
} catch (Exception $expected) {
return;
}
$this->fail('An expected Exception was not thrown');
}
}

18

Testing OopsTest

# phpunit OopsTest OopsTest.php

.

Time: 0 seconds

OK (1 test, 0 assertions)

19

Fixtures

• is a “known state” of an application
- needs to be ‘set up’ at start of test
- needs to be ‘torn down’ at end of test
- shares “states” over test methods

20

<?php
FixmeTest
class FixmeTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
protected $fixme;

public function setUp()
{
$this->fixme = array ();
}

public function testFixmeEmpty()
{
$this->assertEquals(0, sizeof($this->fixme));
}

public function testFixmeHasOne()
{
array_push($this->fixme, 'element');
$this->assertEquals(1, sizeof($this->fixme));
}
}

21

Testing FixmeTest

# phpunit FixmeTest FixmeTest.php

..

Time: 0 seconds


22

Doubles

• stub objects
• mock objects

23

Stubs

• isolates tests from external inﬂuences
- slow connections
- expensive and complex resources
• replaces a “system under test” (SUT)
- for the purpose of testing

24

StubTest
<?php
// example taken from phpunit.de
class StubTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
public function testStub()
{
$stub = $this->getMock('SomeClass');
$stub->expects($this->any())
->method('doSometing')
->will($this->returnValue('foo'));
}

// Calling $stub->doSomething() will now return 'foo'
}

25

Testing StubTest

# phpunit StubTest StubTest.php

.

Time: 0 seconds

OK (1 test, 1 assertion)

26

Mocks

• simulated objects
• mimics API or behaviour
• in a controlled way
• to test a real object

27

<?php
ObserverTest
// example taken from Sebastian Bergmann’s slides on
// slideshare.net/sebastian_bergmann/advanced-phpunit-topics

class ObserverTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
public function testUpdateIsCalledOnce()
{
$observer = $this->getMock('Observer', array('update'));

$observer->expects($this->once())
->method('update')
->with($this->equalTo('something'));

$subject = new Subject;
$subject->attach($observer)
->doSomething();
}
}

28

Database Testing
• ported by Mike Lively from DBUnit
• PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_TestCase
• for database-driven projects
• puts DB in know state between tests
• imports and exports DB data from/to XML
• easily added to existing tests

29

The full BankAccount class
http://www.phpunit.de/browser/phpunit/branches/release/3.3/PHPUnit/Samples/BankAccountDB/
BankAccount.php

30

Database Testing Example
<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/Database/Tescase.php';
require_once 'PHPUnit/Extensions/Database/Dataset/FlatXmlDataSet.php';
require_once 'BankAccount.php';

class BankAccountDBTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Database_Testcase
{
public function getConnection()
{
$pdo = new PDO('sqlite::memory:');
return $this->createDefaultDBConnection($pdo, 'testdb');
}

public function getDataSet()
{
return $this->createFlatFileXMLDataSet(
dirname(__FILE__) . '/_files/dataset.xml');
}
...

31

Testing data store/retrieve
...

public function testNewAccountCreation()
{
$bank_account = new BankAccount('12345678912345678', $this->pdo);
$xml_dataset = $this->createFlatXMLDataSet(
dirname(__FILE__).'/_files/ba-new-account.xml');
$this->assertDataSetsEquals($xml_dataset,
$this->getConnection()->createDataSet());
}

...

32

Testing BankAccount

$ phpunit BankAccountDBTestPHPUnit 3.3.15 by Sebastian Bergmann.

.....

Time: 0 seconds


33

BankAccount Dataset

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataset>
<bank_account account_number="15934903649620486" balance="100.00" />
</dataset>

34

Testing ZF App

• using ZF bootstrap
• uses ZF autoloading
• tests MVC controllers and views

35

<?php
Testing Controllers
require_once 'Zend/Test/PHPUnit/TestCase.php';

class IndexControllerTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{
public function setUp()
{
$this->bootstrap = array ($this, 'bootstrap');
parent::setUp();
}

public function tearDown()
{
parent::tearDown();
$this->bootstrap = null;
}

public function bootstrap()
{
$this->frontController->registerPlugin(new Initializer('test'));
}

// tests goes here
}

36

Zend_Test_PHPUnit

• Dispatching: $this->dispatch(‘/’);
• Testing Controller:
$this->assertController(‘index’);
• Testing Action:
$this->assertAction(‘index’);
