“From 2005 until 2022 I spent a lot of energy trying to convince you to write tests for your PHP code, using a variety of techniques and approaches. Then I decided to stop teaching people to test at conferences.
Instead, I want to share my thoughts on where we are in 2024 in terms of overall commitment to testing. What other tools are out there? Does it matter what tools you use? Does it matter if you actually have automated tests? Mutation testing? Static code analysis? Code reviews? Snarky chat sessions?
Even though the basics haven’t changed, how we can learn from the successes and failures of others can greatly help you come up with a testing plan that works for you. The goal is confident deployments to production at any time!”
