Talk 1: "Testing Symfony/Console applications w/ PHPUnit" by Raphael Stolt
Developing CLI applications is a common task in a developers everyday life. Do we have to test those applications? Or is it enough to just test the business logic?
In this talk we'll take a look at how to approach integration testing of Symfony/Console based CLI applications with PHPUnit.

Talk 2: "From Chaos to Control: Exception Handling in Symfony" by Anne-Julia Seitz
Have you seen controllers grow with every exception that needs to be handled? Have you ever wondered where a particular exception is handled, or if you can be sure that all exceptions are handled so that the user always gets the correct response codes? Error handling gets little attention in the beginning, but needs to be addressed at some point.

PHP development has become stricter over time, and we want to leverage this for robust error handling in Symfony applications. The presentation covers basic exception handling concepts while exploring best practices with Symfony’s error handling components. Topics include custom exceptions, efficient logging, and error handling.

Don't miss these insightful talks, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you all at the Symfony User Group of November.
