Test-driven development (TDD)

Testing the application is very important, and launching an application without tests is like jumping from a 30-floor-high building without a parachute.

PHP does not provide any built-in features to test, but there are other test frameworks that can be used for this purpose. One of most widely used frameworks or libraries is PHPUnit. It is a very powerful tool and provides lots of features. Now, let's have a look at it.
