This is a great video, I'm doing a software developer apprenticeship, and this video saved me with learning unit testing, thank you sir!

[nomanhanafi]

This is great Gary, I am happy how you gradually incorporated things, many people start with a lot of bloatwares and make things harder for beginners to understand

[GreyDeathVaccine]

This is GOLD.
BTW:
If you have received such an error:
Class 'ExampleAssertionsTest' could not be found in
You need to perform two steps:
1) Make sure your composer.json looks like that:
{
"require-dev": {
"phpunit/phpunit": "^9.5"
},
"autoload-dev": {
"psr-4": {
"": "tests/"
}
}
}
2) composer dump-autoload
Enjoy.

This tutorial was so peaceful with the birds chirping in the background. Thank you! 😄🙏🏻

I wish I could like this video multiple times as this is an excellent demonstration and introduction to TDD in PHP. Your explanation is clear and easy to grasp and you also explained the WHYs of every step.

Thank you for making this available to us!

[filanico]

Clean 'n lean explanation. Congrats !!!

[puneetchauhan]

best explanation for unit test, thanks Gary

[ayayayayaka]

Hey, I was wondering if you can mock functions that are not in classes? I can’t find any clues to that topic …

[ИванОтрубов]

Hi Gary! Very good explanation but could you explain where i should to do that? I am trying to open new project in my inteleji IDEA and i set phpunit library thru composer there.

But i can not figure it out where how you did it and why you have phpunit-demo package from the beginning

[AnonymousDeveloper]

Nice tutorial. Thanks because I found out something new.

[brtj]

Hi may i ask how to test private/protected methods?

[grayaahammed]

Hello Gray, i love your course, and i want to but the full course at your website,
but the problem is that i only have paypal as a payment method, is there a solution please? thanks :)

[AkanshaSaxena]

Great video, nicely explained all the important topics with great examples. Thank you :)

[dawid_dahl]

By the way, do you have any testing tutorial where you show how to setup a test database which gets built and torned down with each test and such? If one wants to test db-related code.

[tamamshud]

I get this error unfortunately Undefined type 'PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase'. Any idea what could be wrong ?

[abdulmobeen]

Nice Tutorial.

Please make a tutorial series on CQRS, Microservices & DDD and how to implement them in Symfony.
Thanks.

[oussamaelaloui]

Hey Gary, thanks for this simple explanation tutorial for testing . I have defined the Class which i want to test its functions but when i create new test class with extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase it returns me that error : Error: Class 'PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase' not found in on line 7

[teddyruxpin]

Instead of having to learn all those assertions (AssertEquals, AssertSame, AssertIsFloat, assertGreaterThan, assertLessThan, etc), why doesn't phpUnit just use PHP logic? Inside of each testCase method, you should be able to do your own logic and return true or false. Like this:
if ($string1 == $string2) {return true;}

[areebahmad]

Could you please tell me which IDE are you using?
