Here you will learn how database interaction can be implemented in a testable manner and how it can be tested.
The PHPUnit training course on database testing was a real game changer for me. Especially in the context of critical applications such as banking or financial systems, it is essential that tests are not only reliable, but also secure and reproducible. The training course taught exactly that – in a practical, structured way and with lots of concrete examples. I not only learned how to test transactions properly, but also how to avoid risks such as data corruption or side effects. I highly recommend this course to anyone who works with sensitive data and wants to take their testing strategy to the next level.

If you don't have to process any input, generate any output, or interact with other systems such as database servers, then designing software systems and writing code is much easier. But it would also be pretty boring.
Here, I'll show you best practices and you'll see design patterns in action. This will allow you to interact with your database without going mad. In other words, you'll learn how to implement testable database interaction and how to test it.
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.
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.
