Why write tests?
================
* Peace of mind
* Prevent regressions
* Catch bugs earlier
* Write less code
* Documentation
* Drupal core requirement
* More important with regular D10/D11 releases and supporting multiple versions
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "I don't want to break 38,000 Drupal sites when rolling a new release, or causing a regression in a client codebase."
TextAnnotation "TDD often results in writing less code as you're figuring things out whilst writing the test, only writing code that's needed for the tests."
TextAnnotation "Drupal core gates. Testing gate requires new tests for new features, failing test cases for bug fixes, and code coverage when refactoring code."
TextAnnotation "Same projects can work for Drupal 8, 9 and 10 etc."
Testing in Drupal
=================
* **Drupal 7** - SimpleTest (testing) module provided as part of core
* **Drupal 8** - PHPUnit added as a core dependency, later became the default via the PHPUnit initiative
* **Drupal 9** - SimpleTest removed from core, moved back to contrib
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Not speaking about Drupal 7 and SimpleTest in this talk, but a lot of the concepts are the same."
Writing PHPUnit Tests for Drupal
================================
* PHP class with ``.php`` extension
* ``tests/src`` directory within each module
* Within the ``Drupal\Tests\{module_name}`` namespace
* Class name must match the filename
* Namespace must match the directory structure
* One test class per feature
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Tests per module."
TextAnnotation "PSR-4 autoloading."
TextAnnotation "Different to D7."

What to test?
=============
* Creating nodes with data from an API
* Calculating attendance figures for an event
* Determining if an event is purchasable
* Promotions and coupons for new users
* Cloning events
* Queuing private message requests
* Re-opening closed support tickets when comments are added

Types of Tests
==============
* **Functional/FunctionalJavascript** (web, browser, feature)
* **Kernel** (integration)
* **Unit**
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Not just unit tests."
Functional Tests
================
* Tests end-to-end functionality
* UI testing
* Interacts with database
* Full Drupal installation
* Slower to run
* With/without JavaScript
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Uses the `testing` profile with a fresh installation between tests."
Kernel tests
============
* Integration tests
* Can install modules, interact with services, container, database
* Minimal Drupal bootstrap
* Faster than functional tests
* More setup required
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Can still access services like \Drupal::messenger()."
Unit Tests
==========
* Tests PHP logic
* No database interaction
* Fast to run
* Need to mock dependencies
* Can become tightly coupled
* Can be hard to refactor

PHPUnit 9.6.13 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
Testing /app/web/modules/contrib/examples/modules/phpunit_example
................................. 33 / 33 (100%)
Time: 00:08.660, Memory: 10.00 MB
OK (33 tests, 43 assertions)
Creating a phpunit.xml file
===========================
- Configures PHPUnit
- Needed to run some types of tests
- Ignored by Git by default
- Copy ``core/phpunit.xml.dist`` to ``core/phpunit.xml``
- Add and change as needed
- ``SIMPLETEST_BASE_URL``, ``SIMPLETEST_DB``, ``BROWSERTEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY``
- ``stopOnFailure="true"``
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "For core. For projects, I create a customised phpunit.xml.dist in my project."
.. include:: example.rst
Test Driven Development
=======================
* Write a failing test
* Write code until the test passes
* Refactor
* Repeat
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Write enough of a test so that it fails."
TextAnnotation "Write enough code so that the test passes."
TextAnnotation "Refactor if needed."
TextAnnotation "Repeat."

Red, Green, Refactor

Porting Modules From Drupal 7
=============================
- Make a new branch
- Add/update the tests
- Write code to make the tests pass
- Refactor
- Repeat
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Similar to the TDD workflow."
How I Write Tests - "Outside In"
================================
- Start with functional tests
- Drop down to integration or unit tests where needed
- Programming by wishful thinking
- Write comments first, then fill in the code
- Sometimes write assertions first
.. raw:: pdf
TextAnnotation "Write the code in your test that you wish you had, and let the tests tell you what's missing."
How I Write Tests - "Outside In"
================================
* Functional - 57 tests, 180 assertions
* Kernel - 38 tests, 495 assertions
* Unit - 5 tests, 18 assertions
