Tests Pyramid

Goal: To provide an adequate tests proportion to run and a quick feedback.

Unit Tests: To verify the quality at small code snippets (units).

e.g., PHPUnit

Integration Tests: To test the integration of the tested units.

e.g., PHPUnit + DBUnit

UI Tests (User Interface Tests): To validate flows and information displayed at the user level.

e.g., Selenium Webdriver

Solitary Unit Test x Sociable Unit Test

What is a unit test?Concept more used and defended:

Solitary Unit Test: Methods are tested in isolation from other internal methods and external communications using mocks.

Mock: It’s a change of a real structure to a simulated structure for running tests.

Solitary Unit Test x Sociable Unit Test

Solitary Unit TestAdvantages:

Quick execution.Faster error location.Exception simulation.

Disadvantages:Possible outdated mock.False positive at tests.Possible bug at production.

Globalcode – Open4education

Solitary Unit Test x Sociable Unit Test

What is a unit test?Less known concept:

Sociable Unit Test : Methods are tested in collaboration from other internal methods and external communications.

What is unit in this case?It depends on the depth of your test.

Solitary Unit Test x Sociable Unit Test

Sociable Unit TestAdvantages:

Running tests with the real structure.More thoroughly tested scenario (units collaboration).

Disadvantages:Slower runtime.High dependence among components or systems.False negative at tests ( e.g., external communications ).

Solitary Unit Test x Sociable Unit Test

What kind of unit test is best?It’s necessary to review each case depending on the need and use one of two test types.What about the tests pyramid with the sociable unit tests?

TOO CONFUSING!!!!

Optimizations for Running Tests

What is important for running tests?It must pass confidence that code is reliable.It must be easy to understand.The suite execution must be as fast as possible, so that it runs as soon as possible and many times as necessary. (e.g., every commit )

Globalcode – Open4education

Optimizations for Running Tests

Environment OptimizationsProblems that can delay the running tests:

Network concurrence.Database concurrence.

Possible solution: To centralize the testing environment on a single machine, either virtual or real with its own database for testing.

At the suite execution, it prevents multiple browsers stay open if several tests fail.

PHP Continuous Integration Environment

What is a continuous integration environment?Continuous Integration

Agile process.It defends the continuous code delivery in a central repository in a short time.The code to be integrated can’t produce defects at the existing code. (tests)

The continuous integration environment aims to automate tasks of the continuous integration process.Automation is important to decrease the errors of human nature.

PHP Continuous Integration Environment

How does create a basic continuous integration (CI) server for PHP?

CI Tool (Jenkins, Hudson, etc..)It’s the heart of continuous integration server, where whole code integration process, tests and building packages is done.

Versioning Control (GIT, SVN, etc...)The CI server will verify the central repository from time to time checking if there was a change. If there is a change, a building will be triggered and the local copy is updated.

PHP Continuous Integration Environment

How does create a basic continuous integration (CI) server for PHP?

PHP/PHPUnitRunning tests to validate the integrated code.

Web Server (Apache) and Database (MySQL, SQLite, etc...)

Support for sociable unit tests, integration tests and UI tests.

Building Tool (Maven, Ant, etc...)Building packages.

Thanks champs!!! So now I’ll install everything manually!!!!

“IT’S RIGHT!!”! :P

Jenkins can manage the installation of most components through PLUGINS.

It can manage multiple component versions.Easy installation, removal or upgrade.

The continuous integration process within Jenkins is represented by Job.

A job can be configured in a very varied way, could represent a step in the continuous integration, like whole continuous integration process.It’s possible to change the step execution order within a job through a simple “drag and drop”.
