Tutorial Day
TDD with PhpSpec
Friday 2nd October PM
PhpSpec is a SpecBDD tool that enables you to use a TDD workflow that can transform the way you write PHP. In this session we will look at the TDD workflow and see how PhpSpec can be used to speed up your development; add regression safety, and improve your object-oriented design.
Conference Day 1
Driving Design through Examples
Saturday 3rd October 15.00 - 15.50
Modelling by Example is a set of practices that combine BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) and DDD (Domain Driven Design) techniques to creat a workflow that directly drives code from a starting point of user requirements. We will see how a simple feature can be defined via conversation with stakeholders, captured as automatable requirements, and expressed directly in the object model using tools such as Behat and PhpSpec.
