Test driven development in Drupal 8
summary
Tests are used to drive module design and catch regressions, demonstrated with a working Connect Four module (repo: nuez/connect_four). Concrete tooling: Unit, Kernel, Browser, JavaScript tests using PHPUnit, Mink, PhantomJS (PhantomJS noted as unmaintained), and Prophecy mocks for fast unit tests. Unit tests run in milliseconds, kernel tests need partial bootstrap, browser/JS tests require full installs and are slow. A YAML data provider runs three scenarios to verify the “get maximum moves in line” logic; tests pass and the game works.
