- Testing file uploads with PHP

  A question I am asked on a regular basis is, how you can test a file upload
  with PHP. In this blog post, I take a precise look at this topic and show
  you how to test your file uploads from within your standard testing
  environment, using widely unknown testing framework for PHP.

- Apache Zeta Components: Doing mail right

  Sending and receiving mail is a regular, but often cumbersome task.
  Especially, when it comes to more complex mails than just plain text. HTML
  and alternate text parts, embedded images, attachments and digests can make
  your brain spin if you need to do it yourself. The Apache Zeta Mail
  component makes it easy for you to send such mails, but also to receive
  them! In this article I show you how to send HTML emails with embedded
  images and how to receive all mails from an IMAP server and forward them in
  a single mail, using a digest.

- Remember your calls for papers

  Do you speak at PHP conferences regularly? Or do you plan to do so? Do you
  occasionally forget when the call for papers for a conference starts or
  ends?  So, you have a similar problem than we have. And we hacked up a
  simple solution: The Call For Papers manager (qaCFP) …

- IPC 2010 recap

  The International PHP Conference 2010, the 10th instance of this yearly PHP
  family meeting, ended yesterday. It was an amazing event again and we had
  many nice discussions. Beside that, all three Qafoo members presented talks
  on various topics, for which we now uploaded the slides to our talks page.
  Find below a short review about our sessions. If you attended any of them,
  please do not forget to give us some feedback via joind.in!

- Practical PHPUnit: Testing XML generation

  Testing classes which generate XML can be a cumbersome work. At least, if
  you don't know the right tricks to make your life easier. In this article, I
  will throw some light upon different approaches and show you, how XML
  generation can be tested quite easily using XPath.

- Why software quality matters

  It is not always obvious why software quality matters in any development
  project. Especially in the PHP area, where projects are often won by
  pitching with short development time and low cost, people don't see the
  benefits of quality assurance action for their projects. We have therefore
  made up a white paper explaining the benefits of software quality for your
  company and how quality assurance can influence important business goals of
  development projects.

- Testing legacy code 

  Today we know about the benefits of Test Driven Development and normally
  also start new projects using TDD. Most projects from the last couple of
  years integrated this method in their daily development process, which often
  results in in good code coverage results of 90% and above. But what about
  all the other old projects, you still manage in your daily work?
