Labs are hands-on coding projects that you build along with Tonya as she explains the code, concepts, and thought processes behind it. You can use the labs to further your code knowledge or to use right in your projects. Each lab ties into the Docx to ensure you have the information you need.
Each lab is designed to further your understanding and mastery of code. You learn more about how to think about its construction, quality, maintainability, programmatic and logical thought, and problem-solving. While you may be building a specific thing, Tonya presents the why of it to make it adaptable far beyond that specific implementation, thereby giving you the means to make it your own, in any context.
WooHoo! You did it! You made it through this lab. In doing so, you setup your testing environment, learned a few new things about Composer, dove into the formula for figuring out what to test, and wrote real unit and integration tests. Congratulations for completing this lab!

Notes | Transcript | Code | Playlist Notes A great way to learn which assertions to use for your tests is to take the equivalent comparative code and find the assertion that does the comparison work for you. In this episode, I’m going to challenge you to do just that. I want you to take our test sample assertions, which are all assertTrue(), look at the comparison code, and figure out which assertion can replace that code. You’ll be using the PHPUnit manual. Then together, you and I will walk through the process together. We’ll look at the different assertions […]
Notes | Transcript | Code | Playlist Notes Before we can really dive into testing, I think any conversation about integration testing into workflow has to start with “how it benefits you.” Testing requires more work from you upfront, but saves you time and money later. The benefits are huge to your company, clients, and you. Let’s talk about why and what you get. In this episode, I’ll show you the benefits of testing by showing you a real world framework that had a bug in it. As I was writing tests for it, I found a bug, one that […]
