Advanced PHPUnit
PHPUnit is the standard test automation tool for PHP. This training teaches the advanced use of PHPUnit in real projects. In addition to testing object interactions and side effects, you will also learn, for example, how to avoid risky tests and work with code coverage information.
- You can also test difficult scenarios such as the interaction of objects
- You can fix the problems that underlie risky tests
- You can find code that is not yet tested with the help of PHPUnit
This training is aimed at participants who have practical experience with test automation and want to learn how to successfully implement difficult tests with PHPUnit, as required in everyday project work.
Prerequisites are practical experience with PHPUnit and knowledge of object-oriented programming in PHP. The necessary basics are taught in Test Automation with PHPUnit and Advanced OOP.

Work Assignment
In order to directly gain your own practical experience, you will work on your work assignment in your own time until the next online session.
Work assignments are designed to take 1 to 2 hours to complete. You decide whether you work on the exercises alone or in a work group. Forming a work group with another training participant you have never met before can be an interesting and instructive experience.
Of course, we will not leave you alone with questions about your work assignments. Between the online sessions, you will receive support via e-mail from the trainer on all questions regarding the previous training content and the work assignments.
-
At the latest until the day before the next online session, you can send your solution to the trainer by e-mail. At the beginning of the next online session, examples selected from all submissions will be discussed and improved by the trainer.
-
Collaborating Objects
- Joint review of selected work assignments (ca. 30 min)
- Q and A (ca. 30 min)
- When we need to break the isolation (ca. 30 min)
