4. What is Software Testing?
 Testing is the process of executing a program with intent
of finding errors (The art of software testing – Glenford J.Myers)

Our program
The output
is correct?
I1, I2, I3,
…, In, … Expected results
= ?
Obtained results
“Inputs”
- No code inspection - No code analysis
- No model checking - No bug fixing
- No debugging

6. Testing Techniques
Functional Testing
(Black box)
 Select test cases based
on the requirement or
design specification
 Emphasize on the
external behavior of
software
Structural Testing
(White box)
 Select test cases based
on the implement of
software
 Emphasize on the internal
structure of software
KiSS Concept

7. Black box vs White box

10. What is unit testing?
KiSS Concept
 “In computer programming, unit testing is a method by which
individual units of source code are tested to determine if they
are fit for use. A unit is the smallest testable part of an
application.” (Wikipedia)
 A “unit ” is the smallest testable part of an application: a
function or class method.

11. Benefit of unit testing
 Easy to defect error
KiSS Concept

12. Benefit of unit testing
 Safer refactoring
KiSS Concept

13. Benefit of unit testing
 Automated test
KiSS Concept

14. Benefit of unit testing
 Long term of saving time and money
KiSS Concept

15. When do you write the test?
 Focus on requirements
 Thinking about how to
code will be consumed
 Stop coding when meet
requirement
 Harder initially
 Focus on code
 Thinking about algorithm
 More refactoring
 Easier initially
KiSS Concept
Before coding(TDD) After/During coding

16. How do I test?
 Isolate with the code being tested
 Short, simple, fast, readable
 No conditional logic or loop (if, switch, while)
 One test should be one behavior
KiSS Concept

17. KiSS Concept

18. Introduction
KiSS Concept
 Is a unit testing framework written in PHP, created by
Sebastian Bergmann.
 Part of the xUnit family of testing frameworks.
 Integrated/supported
• Zend Studio
• Zend Framework
• Symfony
• Doctrine

19. Installation
KiSS Concept
Install with PEAR:
pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de
pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
Update:
pear upgrade phpunit/PHPUnit
Xdebug:
sudo apt-get install php5-xdebug php5-dev
Set include path in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
include_path = “.:/usr/share/php”

21. Simple test
KiSS Concept

22. Running test
KiSS Concept
Go to command line and run:
phpunit /path/to/file/test.php or phpunit classname
/path/to/file/test.php

23. Running test
 Command line
 IDE
 Zend Studio
 NetBean
 Continuous Integration
 phpUnderControl
 Cruise Control
KiSS Concept

24. Result
 OK: all tests are successful
 FAILURES: test is fail or error
 Result of each test:
• . test succeeds
• F an assertion fails
• E an error
• S test has been skipped
• I test is marked as being incomplete or not yet
implement
KiSS Concept

25. Features
 @dataProvider
 @exception
 Fixture: setUp() and tearDown()
 Double: stub and mock object
 Database
 Code coverage
KiSS Concept

26. Data provider
 Is a method that returns an array of values to use in a test.
 Makes tests shorter and more concise.
 Data provider can use array or file csv.
KiSS Concept

27. Data provider
KiSS Concept
Input 1 myfunction() Report 1Result 1 Expected 1
compare
Input 2 myfunction() Report 2Result 2 Expected 2
compare
Input 3 myfunction() Report 3Result 3 Expected 3
compare

28. Data provider
KiSS Concept
/*
* @dataProvider
*/
testMethod($input, $expect)
{
myfunction()
}
Report 1
Data Providers
Input 1 expect1
Input 2 expect 2
Input 3 expect 3
Report 2
Report 3

29. Use array
KiSS Concept

30. Use csv file
KiSS Concept

31. Exception
 Test exception are thrown.
 Test expected messages of exception are thrown.
KiSS Concept

32. Example exception
KiSS Concept

33. Fixtures
 Is constructor method and destructor method in test case
 PHPUnit supports 2 methods:
• setUp(): the function run when test methods start to
run
• tearDown(): the function run after test methods end
KiSS Concept

34. Fixtures
KiSS Concept
Start
setUp()
testOne() testTwo() testThree()
tearDown()
End

35. KiSS Concept
Example fixtures

36. Test double
KiSS Concept
MyClass
myMethod($object)
{
…$object->otherMethod();
…
}
Database
Connection
File system
Web service
Function depends on other objects, other components

37. KiSS Concept
MyClass
myMethod()
{
…other Method
…
}
Database
File system
Web service
MyClassTest
testMyMethod()
{
…
…
}
Test double
How to isolate environment ?

38. Test double
KiSS Concept
MyClass
myMethod()
{
…other Method
…
}
Database Mock
File system Mock
Web service Mock
MyClassTest
testMyMethod()
{
…
…
}
Set mocks
Solution: use copy object Test double
return fixed value

39. Stub and Mock
 Set method return
values
 Test state
 Check method calls
 Check arguments used
 Test interactions
KiSS Concept
Stub Mock

40. Example stub object
KiSS Concept

41. Example mock object
KiSS Concept

42. Database testing
 Set up database connection.
 Set up initial dataset.
 Provide methods to get dataset from database.
 Provide methods to compare two datasets.
 Type of dataset
 Flat XML
 XML
 CSV
 MySQL dump
KiSS Concept

43. Organizing
 Allow to organize tests to test suite to run one time
 Use file system:
 All test files end with „Test‟.
 Organize directory structure.
 Use configuration file: phpunit.xml
KiSS Concept

44. Use file system
KiSS Concept

45. Use phpunit.xml
KiSS Concept

46. Code Coverage
KiSS Concept
 Help to see what are executed when the tests are run.
 Help to find code that is not yet tested.
 Help to measure testing completeness.

47. Code Coverage
KiSS Concept

48. Code Coverage
KiSS Concept
Red: code is not executedGreen: code is executed
Test cases cover this line code
Grey: dead code
Note: dead code is source code which is executed but whose result is never used.

49. Logging
Test results HTML
 <log type="testdox-html" target="./log/testdox.html" />
KiSS Concept

50. Logging
Test result XML
 <log type="junit" target="./log/logfile.xml" />
KiSS Concept
