Organising Test Suites

Testing is crucial for software development, but the organisation of the test suite is often neglected. However, a good and suitable structure is crucial for the efficiency and maintainability of the tests.

I will show you proven strategies that will help you organise your test suite and become flexible when it comes to running your tests.

If you want to be sure that software works properly, you have to test it continuously. Tools such as PHPUnit are constantly being improved, as are best practices for their use.

It doesn't matter whether you already have many years of experience testing PHP software with PHPUnit or are just getting started in the world of testing, for example in our training courses Test Automation with PHPUnit or Advanced PHPUnit: When it comes to testing software, there is always something new to learn and old patterns to rethink.

In Tester's Corner, we concisely cover a topic related to automated software testing every month.

• Tailor-made structure for your project
• Test suites and test groups
• Configuration file and CLI options

Tester's Corner is aimed at all developers who test their software with PHPUnit. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user of PHPUnit, there is always something new to learn here.

Prerequisites are (at least initial) practical experience with PHPUnit and knowledge of object-oriented programming in PHP. The necessary basics are taught in the training courses Test Automation with PHPUnit and OOP Done Right.

• Understand PHPUnit, from the basics to advanced problem solving
• Gain comprehensive knowledge of lesser-known features and techniques
• Continuously optimise your test strategy to adapt it to new requirements.
