"Test-Driven Development is a developer practice
that involves writing tests before writing the code
being tested."

TECHNOLOGIC
TDD: mmm
If you have a blank project, you have to start...
Where to start?
What to test?
What not to test?
How much tests?
Where to start?
TDD: mmmmmmmmm
“If you need to test the insertion of an object into a
collection and the collection is represented by an
Array, with xUnit you should assert that the
collection contains the object in the Array, but if the
collection will change to another type of container,
graph for example, the xUnit will fail, even if the
behaviour is unchanged. “
BDD :)
in BDD you are not testing
you are describing what that classes will do,
so you can continue creating the class
Specify the Behaviour by Examples
not testing a class.
BDD :D
External behaviour - Story
Behat deals to have specifications that reflects
the environment from the outside.
Solve: Where to start, What to and not to test
Internal behaviour - Example
PHPSpec responds to the behaviour in the lower
level, from the internal of the classes.
Solve all the TDD mmmmmmm
BDD the double cycle
1 start from Scenario
2 write a story that fail
go to phpspec2 internal level

3 write a fail Example
4 get it green
5 refactor
go to behat external level

7 refactor
"Spec BDD with phpspec
phpspec is a development tool, designed to help you achieve
clean and working PHP code by using a technique derived
from test-first development called (spec) behaviour driven
developement, or SpecBDD."
LET’S CODE
1. Installation composer

{
"require-dev": {
"phpspec/phpspec2": "*"
},
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin"
},
"autoload": {"psr-0": {"": "src"}},
"minimum-stability": "dev"
}

2.

Code the behaviour: WAIT
we have to talk the same language
DEFINITION
In BDD you are going to 'Describe' the behaviour of a Class
creating a `Spec` that will contain more Examples.
'example' is the class to write, before write the subject code.
'expectation' the behaviour that the subject code should
have.

• Assertion becomes expectation.
• Test method becomes code example
• Test case becomes example group/Specification
CODING TIME
Not really coding, command lining :)
$ bin/phpspec desc FakeTwitter
Specification for FakeTwitter created in spec/FakeTwitter.php.

Now Code the examples ...
$ bin/phpspec run -v -f prettify
BDD
I Code, than I specify

BDD you're doing it wrong
Cool I'm going to
specify all my old
projects

BDD you're doing it wrong
I don't care about
documentation and
acceptance.

BDD you're doing it wrong
I don't need unit tests,
and I do not need to
specify
