This Skill helps developers write robust, regression-safe Symfony applications by integrating Test-Driven Development (TDD) principles with the Pest PHP testing framework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TDD Workflow: Guides users through the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for building features.
  • Deterministic Testing: Emphasizes the use of fixtures and builders for reliable test data.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature in a Symfony project, use this skill to ensure all new code is covered by failing tests before implementation, and refactor with confidence.

Quick Start

Use the symfony:tdd-with-pest skill to start building a new feature with failing tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice TDD in Symfony using Pest PHP?

To practice TDD in Symfony using Pest PHP, you drive application delivery through the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, writing failing tests before implementation and refactoring with regression protection.

How do I convert a bug report into an executable test for a Symfony application?

You convert a bug report into an executable test by translating the reported failure scenario into a Pest PHP test case. This ensures regression protection by verifying the bug is fixed and preventing future occurrences.

How do I create stable test environments for Symfony PHPUnit testing?

You create stable test environments for Symfony testing by employing deterministic fixtures and builders. This approach ensures reliable test data generation and prevents flaky tests during your TDD workflow.

Can I use Pest PHP for test-driven development in existing Symfony projects?

Yes, you can use Pest PHP for test-driven development in existing Symfony projects. It facilitates the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to build new features and refactor existing code while ensuring continuous regression protection.

What is the best way to start building a new Symfony feature with failing tests?

The best way to start building a new Symfony feature with failing tests is to initiate the RED phase of the TDD cycle. Write a Pest PHP test that defines the expected behavior before any implementation code exists.
