Legacy Code - Testing and Safe Refactoring - Laravel Live UK 2019

"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!"

We've all been there! In this talk we'll look at safe ways to refactor 'untestable' code to make it testable - without breaking any existing functionality. Promise! Then, further changes will be much easier!

  1. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive 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 | #LaravelLive What is refactoring? •

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

    • Improve other developer’s understanding • Increase the application’s performance • Introduce new technology • Accommodate changes in product requirements
  4. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive 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 | #LaravelLive Why would I unit

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

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

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

    Perform just enough refactoring to make the code testable 2. Test the code 3. Refactor the code further 4. Profit!
  9. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Assumptions: you’re developing with

    PHP and you have access to a terminal with Composer.
  10. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive “ 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 | #LaravelLive Create a test using

    Artisan: Anatomy of a unit test $ php artisan make:test ExampleTest --unit
  12. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Anatomy of a unit

    test tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php namespace Tests\Unit; use Tests\TestCase; class ExampleTest extends TestCase { public function testSomeFunction() { $result = someFunction(); // Should return true $this->assertTrue($result); } }
  13. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Run your tests: Running

    the tests $ ./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Unit PHPUnit <version> by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors. . 1 / 1 (100%) Time: 64 ms, Memory: 4.00 MB OK (1 test, 1 assertion)
  14. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive “ 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
  15. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Install via Composer: $

    composer require --dev mockery/mockery Mockery - Installation
  16. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Mockery - Usage tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php

    class ExampleTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase { public function setUp() { $mockObject = Mockery::mock(Object::class); // Mock object. } }
  17. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Mockery - Usage tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php

    class ExampleTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase { public function setUp() { $mockObject = Mockery::mock(Object::class); $mockObject->shouldReceive('method') // Expectation ->once() // Method called once ->andReturn(true); // Method returns true } } tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php
  18. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Mockery - Usage tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php

    class ExampleTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase { public function tearDown() { Mockery::close(); // Always close after running tests! } } tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php
  19. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Mockery - Usage tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php

    use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase as BaseTestCase; class ExampleTest extends BaseTestCase { }
  20. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Mocking - Caution! DO:

    • Mock dependencies, when needed. • Be aware of tautological testing. DON’T: • Mock everything. • Mock the system under test.
  21. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive myLegacyCode.php function yodel($tune =

    null) { if ($tune) { echo $tune; // The yodel is echoed back } else { echo 'Odl lay ee'; // A yodel begins } } A method that echoes

    tests/Unit/YodelTest.php class PrintedOutputTest extends PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase { public function testNewYodel() { yodel(); // Should echo ‘Odl lay ee’ } public function testEchoedYodel() { yodel('Lay hee hoo'); // Should echo ‘Lay hee hoo’ } }
  23. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive Run your tests: A

    method that echoes $ ./vendor/bin/phpunit tests PHPUnit 7.5.8 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors. ROdl lay eeR 2 / 2 (100%)Lay hee hoo Time: 60 ms, Memory: 4.00 MB There were 2 risky tests
  24. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive • Prevent output being

    { ob_start(); yodel('Lay hee hoo'); $output = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); $this->assertEquals('Lay hee hoo', $output); // Success! } A method that echoes
  30. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive myLegacyCode.php function getPowerLevel() {

  40. @maccath | Katy Ereira | #LaravelLive “ A static method

    call - via a Facade Unlike traditional static method calls, facades may be mocked. This provides a great advantage over traditional static methods and grants you the same testability you would have if you were using dependency injection.
