Mastering Mocks: Your Guide to TDD and Test Doubles in PHP

Описание: Welcome to the third part of our series on Test Doubles! I'm your Coding Coach, and in this video, we'll master Mocks. You'll learn how to implement them in PHP and why they're a crucial tool for writing tests that verify the behaviour of your classes.

Mocks are a powerful type of Test Double that not only lets you control dependencies but also allows you to assert that your code interacts with them in a specific way. This is essential for ensuring your application's behaviour is exactly as you intend. We'll be using PHPUnit to drive our development.
