Have you ever wondered how to build complex Drupal applications that work flawlessly and exceed your expectations or how to use existing Drupal recipes in your code with the VScode extension?

Join us on **November 20th** at **The Children’s Society** for an in-depth session on **Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Drupal**, presented by **Oliver Davies,** and **Drupal recipes autocomplete,** presented by **Marcelo Vani**!

**Drupal Recipe Autocomplete**

Have you tried the new Drupal recipes autocomplete in VSCode? It's a game changer for anyone working on a Drupal project who intends to use the Drupal recipe. It speeds up development using VSCode. We don't have to remember every recipe—just start typing, and it completes the rest for you. It's perfect for boosting productivity, especially when juggling multiple projects or just needing to streamline your workflow.

**Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Drupal**

As we all know, testing is crucial for developers. It allows us to add new features, refactor existing code, and reduce the reliance on manual testing, all without worrying about introducing new bugs. A test-driven approach makes our implementation code leaner, focusing only on what’s necessary to pass our tests.

In this session, Oliver will introduce the key methodologies and terminologies of automated testing for Drupal projects. You’ll learn about Drupal’s built-in testing tools, like PHPUnit. PHPUnit is widely used in the PHP world, including projects like Symfony and Laravel, and it makes testing your code more accessible and ensures it meets Drupal’s high standards.

Testing is not just good practice—it’s essential. With Drupal core requiring tests for every new feature or bug fix and maintaining a 100% pass rate policy, strong testing skills are necessary for anyone contributing to the core or building their projects.

During this talk, we’ll take a test-driven approach to create a new Drupal module, providing you with hands-on insights into how TDD can streamline your development process and enhance the reliability of your code.
