What is TDD?

.------------. .-------| edit Test | | '------------' v ^ .------------. .----------. | | write Test |---->| run Test |--Pass---' '------------' '----------' .------------. | .------| Edit Code | Fails | '------------' v v ^ .------------. .----------. | | write code |----->| run Test |--Fails-' '------------' '----------' | Pass v .---------------. | refactor code | '---------------'

✩ Refactoring is so nice✩ Collaboration was smooth✩ Early Detection of Design Flaws

Unit vs Web

Writing Tests

Example at http://drupalcode.org/project/sps.git/blob/refs/heads/7.x-1.x:/tests/SPSDrupalUnit.test

Running Tests

✩ php scripts/run-tests.sh --color GROUPNAME [output of command]✩ php scripts/run-tests.sh --verbose --color --class CLASSNAME[output of command]
