010PHP: Maintainable database integration tests

Maintainable database integration tests ~ Bart McLeod (@bartmcleod)
With the team of one of my clients, we were facing the challenge of writing database integration tests that would be reliable, easy to write and maintain and relatively fast to run. The problem is that data structures change a lot and test code based on fixed data dumps can age quickly, causing a maintenance burden. I found a solution in a way of thinking rather than adopting new software. So without introducing radically new software, we were able to build a database integration test suite that meets our demands. During my talk I will show you a simplified setup using this way of thinking and I'd like to hear what you think of it.
