- Shopware Academy: Functional Testing

  Implementing a strategy for automatic testing inside a pre-existing
  shop-system such as Shopware requires knowledge of the internals and a
  tailored approach. This post discusses approaches for Shopware and a
  workshop that Manuel is presenting at Shopware Academy.

- PHP Summit vom 2. - 4. Dezember in Berlin

  Qafoo is organizing two workshops at the PHP Summit, a three day training
  event taking place in Berlin in December 2013. (German content)

- ContainerAware Considered Harmful

  A while ago I tweetedContainerAware is the new Singleton.While many people
  agreed by retweeting and faving. I feel the need to elaborate some more on
  this statement and safe the explaination for the future.

- Fixing Legacy Code

  Working on a green-field project where you can start from scratch and avoid
  all the annoyances you experienced in earlier projects is fun. However, most
  developers cannot enjoy this pleasure but work with legacy code 99% of their
  time. Even harder, many green-field projects turn into legacy within months
  or even weeks.

- Finding the right Test-Mix

  The topic of Test Driven Development (TDD) and unit-testing usually creates
  heated discussions among developers. We at Qafoo are not an exception and
  the topic how to apply TDD in our daily work regularly leads to heated
  discussions.  One reason for this is that both TDD and unit-testing combined
  are by some people seen dogmatically as the only way to do software
  development.

- SymfonySummit: Impressions

  As the very first event of its kind, SymfonySummit took place on July 4th
  and 5th in Cologne. Experts from SensioLabs and Qafoo presented 6 practical
  workshops around high quality development of web applications on basis of
  Symfony2. To catch a bit of the spirit I iterviewed Claudia, one of the
  attendess who won a ticket for SymfonySummit on our blog.

- Testing: Find the Sweet Spot

  How we need to craft architecture and design in order to significantly
  reduce the cost for tests. How to escape from the trap of the inner-platform
  antipattern, where we need to provide all infrastructure and business models
  with an ugly, mocked twin. Simply: How to efficiently write tests? And how
  to avoid that everyone hates them within 10 months, so that they would
  rather deactivate them instead of fixing them.

- Ducks Do Not Type

  I consider public methods not originating from an abstract class or
  interface a code smell – at least when following class based object
  orientation design principles. Let me explain why…
