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.
