Refactor Like a Pro: Clean Code Meets DDD - Silas Joisten
This talk isn’t about theory—it’s a guided refactor that turns obscure code into clear code. You’ll leave with practical techniques to improve existing code and design future features with confidence and purpose.
12 Rules for better Tests - Sebastian Feldmann
When writing unit tests, it can sometimes feel like the test suite is doing more harm than good. Instead of providing confidence, it becomes brittle, failing unexpectedly for unclear reasons. Maintaining the tests starts to take more effort than maintaining the actual code.
In this talk, Sebastian explores 12 rules for writing better tests that transform your test suite from a source of frustration into a reliable tool that supports your development.
Who should attend
- PHP devs, Symfony devs, and anyone building modern web backends.
