In this episode of the SF PHP Meetup, Sebastian Bergmann will discuss best practices in unit testing. Sebastian is the creator of PHPUnit, a contributor to PHP, and co-founder of The PHP Consulting Company.

Although Unit Testing is a recommended practice for any software project, care has to be exercised such that testing yields the desired benefits. Bad programming practices in both test code and production code can make Unit Testing a nightmare. Maintenance of an overly complex test suite can easily become a burden to the project team.

This session, given by the creator of PHPUnit, will shine a light on best practices when it comes to testing PHP code.
