€23.00
Gain skills to confidently test legacy PHP applications, addressing challenges like poor code practices and dependencies. Perfect for developers looking to enhance testing for older codebases.
Description
Working with legacy codebases can be challenging, as developers often hesitate to modify older code out of fear of breaking critical functionality when adding new features or fixing bugs. This apprehension also applies to testing legacy PHP applications. In this course, the instructor guides PHP developers through the complexities of testing outdated applications, offering a step-by-step approach to writing tests for existing PHP codebases.
The course starts by clarifying the distinction between test-driven development as a design approach and testing code that’s already written. It then explores reasons legacy code can be difficult to test, such as poor package management and hard-coded dependencies. You’ll learn what to test, how to plan testing scenarios, and how to refactor a test suite effectively. By the end, you’ll gain the confidence and skills needed to test your legacy PHP code reliably.
