Talk: Unit testing CakePHP Applications & Plugins

These days testing your code becomes more important all the time. With CakePHP 2.x and 3.x having PHPUnit integration built-in, writing tests for your application became a lot easier then in previous versions of CakePHP. In my talk I will try to show you why testing is important. Besides that I will show you how to write tests for your controllers, models, helpers, custom classes and mocking classes.
