Legacy Code - Testing and Safe Refactoring

I can't test this code because it's legacy. I need to update the code to make it testable. How can I manage that, without breaking existing functionality? I'll need to write some tests, but... argh!

  1. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 What is legacy code?

    • Code that wasn’t written by you, just now • Code resulting from incorrect assumptions • Code built using unsupported technology • Code that isn’t tested
  2. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 What is refactoring? •

    Updating existing code without changing the application logic • Improving code structure • Usually done in small, incremental steps
  3. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 Why would I refactor?

    • Improve other developer’s understanding • Increase the application’s performance • Introduce new technology • Accommodate changes
  4. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 What is unit testing?

    • Verification that each individual ‘unit’ of an application works as intended • Units are the component parts of your application • Generally, each behaviour is a unit; likely to be contained within a function • Unit testing is not a substitute for other types of testing
  5. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 Why would I unit

    test? • Aid in the documentation of the system • To prevent regressions when changing code • To test integration with new technology • For validation of product requirements
  6. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 Paradox: can’t refactor untested

    code, but can’t test the code until it’s refactored.
  7. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 A solution 1. Rewrite

    the entire codebase 2. … 3. Profit! 1. Rewrite the entire codebase 2. … 3. Profit!
  8. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 A better solution 1.

    Perform just enough refactoring to make the code testable 2. Test the code 3. Lather, rinse, repeat. 4. Profit!
  9. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 Assumptions: you’re developing with

    PHP and you have access to a terminal with Composer.
  10. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 “ PHPUnit is a

    programmer-oriented testing framework for PHP. It is an instance of the xUnit architecture for unit testing frameworks. PHPUnit Reference: https:/ /phpunit.de/
  11. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #ScotPHP19 I’m still on PHP

  13. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #ScotPHP19 Anatomy of a unit

    test tests/ExampleTest.php class ExampleTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase { public function testSomeFunction() { $result = someFunction(); // Should return true $this->assertTrue($result); } }
  14. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #ScotPHP19 Run your tests: Running

    the tests $ ./vendor/bin/phpunit tests PHPUnit 7.5.8 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors. . 1 / 1 (100%) Time: 64 ms, Memory: 4.00 MB OK (1 test, 1 assertion)
  15. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 Mocking • Create test

    doubles • Verify the behaviour of your code • Isolate the system under test
  16. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 Mocking - Caution! DO:

    • Mock dependencies, when needed. • Be aware of tautological testing. DON’T: • Mock everything. • Mock the system under test.
  17. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #PHPUK20 “ Mockery Mockery is

    a simple yet flexible PHP mock object framework for use in unit testing with PHPUnit, PHPSpec or any other testing framework. Reference: https:/ /github.com/mockery/mockery
