<p>I started to learn about automated testing in 2012 when I took over maintainership of the Drupal module, Override Node Options.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>At the time, it had around 9,000 active installations (now more than 35,000), and I was concerned about breaking those sites if I pushed a bug and wanted confidence to make changes without introducing regressions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Later, I started to learn about test-driven development and how to develop and design software by writing the tests first.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Although I'm not a Laravel Developer, Adam Wathan's "Test Driven Laravel" course was a great resource and information, as well as a number of presentations and talks at PHP meetups and conferences.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once I understood how to write tests and do TDD, I took any opportunity to practice it, whether on projects or coding katas.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>At one point, I was writing module code during work hours and writing tests for it during the evening.</p>

<p>How did you learn automated testing or test-driven development? Reply to this email and let me know.</p>

<p>Bonus points if it was at one of my conference talks or workshops!</p>
