In yesterday's email<\/a>, I mentioned parallel testing and speeding up your tests by running them in parallel.<\/p>\n\n

Something else I've been experimenting with recently in architectural testing with PHPat.<\/p>\n\n

For example, ensuring classes within a namespace are final<\/code> or not, that Controller classes all extend ControllerBase<\/code> and have the Controller suffix in their names.<\/p>\n\n

Going forward, I'd like to ensure that each Drupal module only uses its own classes and is separated, as I recently had an issue where I deleted a class method in one module only to find it was used in a different module.<\/p>\n\n

Here's what I have so far for my testing course codebase<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n

I plan to continue expanding this configuration as I become more familiar with PHPat, and because it's a PHPStan extension, it's already available to run within my projects locally and within the CI pipeline.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
