带CodeIgniter的BDD / TDD

Question

I recently joined a company that uses codeigniter. I have been using nodejs and rails a ton so I feel like I am missing BDD like tools (rspec/jasmine/mocha). Does PHP and/or CodeIgniter have any sort of CLI based testing suite. If so, how should I structure my app? Any good conventions that can be followed?

Answer 1

There's a project called CIUnit that integrates phpunit to codeigniter and provides some helpful functions, and make it a generally pleasant experience. Unfortunately the official branch is stopped at CI version 1.7.2, but there's a fork that I've been using for 2.1.2.

This gives you the usual xUnit style test suites, code coverage report generators, selenium integration, mock and stub objects and such.
