In this guide, we’ll look at how we can write automated tests in Angular 5 projects. Angular Testing is a core feature available in every project that was set up with either the Angular CLI or the Angular quick start project. The subject of Angular testing is vast, as it’s a complex and very involved topic. It woul...
React is a framework that has made headway within the JavaScript developer community. React has a powerful composition framework for designing components. React components are bits of reusable code you can wield in your web application. React components are not tightly coupled from the DOM, but how easy are they to uni...
There are a lot of PHPUnit posts on our site already (just check the tag), but it’s been a while since we’ve actually introduced people to it, and the tool has evolved significantly since then. This article aims to re-introduce the tool in a modern way, to a modern audience, in a modern PHP environment R...
I didn’t start out writing tests for my code. Like many before and since, my “testing” was to write code and refresh the page. “Does it look right?”, I’d ask myself. If I thought so, I’d move on. In fact, most of the jobs I’ve had have been with companies who don’t ...

Exploring PHP is a fun adventure (premium course on that here!) but it’s hard to assemble a toolbelt that’s not too heavy to...
When working in a medium to large team on the same codebase, it can sometimes become hard to understand each other’s code and how to use it. Various solutions exist to help with this. For example, you can agree to follow a set of coding standards to make the code more readable for each other, or use a framework t...
By now, everyone has heard about Test Driven Development (TDD), and the benefits that this can have on your product and your development lifecycle. It’s a no-brainer really. Every time you write a test for a piece of code, you know that code works. And, what’s more, you will know in the future if that code...
Ah-ha moments are beautiful and rare in programming. Every so often, we’re fortunate enough to discover some trick or facet of a system that forever changes how we think of it. For me, that’s what snapshot testing is. You probably write a lot of PHP code, but today I want to talk about something I learned ...
If you’re new to Sourcehunt, it’s our monthly post for promoting open source projects that seem interesting or promising and could use help in terms of Github stars or pull requests. It’s our way of giving back – promoting projects that we use (or could use) so that they gain enough exposure to ...
