TALKS

Unbreakable Unit Tests by Mike Simonson (https://twitter.com/_mikeSimonson)

How often have you rewritten your unit tests from scratch just because the code it was testing evolved sligthly ?

In this session we will explore some unit testing techniques from other languages to produce more robust tests in PHP.

You won't have to give up or send your unit test to the trashcan (ever) again.

Speaker: Mike is an enthusiastic - talkative - and open-minded knowledge-addict.

He started the Brussels PHP user group and is now the maintainer of doctrine/migrations and contributor to many other open source projects.

Length: 45 min.

Dockerize your unit tests for faster feedback by Michelangelo van Dam (https://twitter.com/dragonbe)

Ever got the message "Fatal error: Out of memory" when running your unit tests? Or do you have to wait for more than 5 minutes for all of your unit tests to complete? We're using Docker to mitigate these and other issues. In this session I will show you how we have split up a single testsuite of 3K+ tests into manageable unit modules which are executed by Docker micro instances in parallel. And with this set up we test our application on the current PHP version but it also allows us to test against a new major PHP version the moment it is released.

Speaker: Michelangelo van Dam is a professional PHP consultant and Zend Framework expert working mainly for governments and larger enterprises. Michelangelo is also president of PHPBenelux, a PHP user group operating in Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, and speaks at several PHP conferences around the world.

Length: 50 min.
