Mutation Testing with Infection
Who actually tests my tests? In this training you will learn about mutation testing as a method to assess the quality of tests and to find errors that have not yet been uncovered in your program code.
Using the two testing tools PHPUnit and Infection , you will experience Mutation Testing with live demonstrations in action. Search for escaped mutants and find out what that has to do with the quality of automated tests.
- You use Infection together with PHPUnit
- You can find and improve lying unit tests with Infection
- You understand how to integrate Infection into your development process
The training is intended for advanced PHP developers who create or maintain complex, automatically tested applications.
Mutation testing requires a high coverage through unit tests. We recommend Test Automation with PHPUnit and We test your software together to help you achieve these requirements.
Participants should have about 3-4 years of experience in programming with PHP or a similar programming language, furthermore have practical experience with PHPUnit or a similar testing tool. They should be confident in using an IDE, common development tools, and Git version control.
