LET’S TALK SNAPSHOT TESTING
A file on disk, let’s call in snapshot Test succeeds
if output matches snapshot If not, test will fail What?
Old name: characterization testing Popularized by Facebook Jest Testing interfaces
Where does it come from?
https://github.com/spatie/phpunit-snapshot-assertions assertMatchesSnapshot assertMatchesJsonSnapshot assertMatchesXmlSnapshot How can we do it in
PHP?
DEMO
WRAPPING UP
Advantages Very easy to get started with Can be used
to validate complex output Easily update all the tests in one go
Disadvantages Brittle Hard to pinpoint exact point of failure Bugs
can be easily written in the snapshots
