Advanced Unit Testing Techniques in JavaScript

In this tutorial, Guido Kessels will introduce you to some of the more advanced techniques available to you. As this tutorial will cover some advanced topics, he assumes you’ve already created unit tests before and are familiar with the basics and its terminology. We’ll be using SinonJS. This is a standalone framework which provides an API for mocks, stubs, spies and more. You can use it with any testing framework of your choosing, but for this tutorial, we’ll be using BusterJS, as it ships with SinonJS built-in.

From Procedural to Object Oriented PHP

This tutorial was inspired by a speech given by Robert C. Martin that Patkos Csaba watched a year or so ago. The main subject of his talk is about the possibility of picking The Last Programming Language. He addresses topics such as why should such a language exist? And what it should look like? However, if you read between the lines, there was another interesting idea that caught my attention: the limitations that each programming paradigm imposes upon on us programmers. So before we get into how we could go about converting a procedural based PHP app into an object oriented one, he wants to cover a little bit of theory beforehand.

Adapting To A Responsive Design (Case Study)

In this article, Matt Gibson will explain, from his own experience of refreshing his agency website, why they abandoned a separate mobile website and will review the process of creating a new responsive design. At Cyber-Duck, they have been designing both responsive websites and adaptive mobile websites for several years now. Both options, of course, have their pros and cons. With a separate mobile website, you have the opportunity to tailor content and even interactions to the context of your users, whereas a responsive website means better content parity for users and a single website to maintain.

Building A Responsive Web Application

We are talking and reading a lot about responsive Web design (RWD) these days, but very little attention is given to Web applications. Admittedly, RWD still has to be ironed out. But many of us believe it to be a strong concept, and it is here to stay. So, why don’t we extend this topic to HTML5-powered applications? Because responsive Web applications (RWAs) are both a huge opportunity and a big challenge, I wanted to dive in.

Parallel Testing for PHPUnit with ParaTest

PHPUnit has hinted at parallelism since 2007, but, in the meantime, our tests continue to run slowly. Time is money, right? ParaTest is a tool that sits on top of PHPUnit and allows you to run tests in parallel without the use of extensions. This is an ideal candidate for functional (i.e Selenium) tests and other long-running processes.
