Continuous & Automated Testing
==============================



- Behavior Driven Development

  While unit, integration and system tests - especially the methodology of
  Test Driven Development (TDD) -  are great ways to push the technical
  correctness of an application forward, they miss out one important aspect:
  the customer. None of these methods verify that developers actually
  implement what the customer desires. Behavior Driven Development (BDD) can
  help to bridge this gap.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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?
