Case study - How we automate tests for multiple Drupal sites using a single scriptIndustry track: QA, DevOps & Infrastructure |
We want to follow industry standards with our websites and apps. One of them is to add test coverage to your website and applications as it provides lots of benefits.
This session is for people who want to implement BDD using Behat in their Drupal projects in general. This will also be helpful for those who are working on a collection of similar sites like a multi-site setup or an ACSF setup where sites exhibit similar behavior.
Key takeaways:
- How to set up Behat to run tests for Drupal projects.
- How to write non-javascript enabled tests using driver Goutte.
- How to write javascript enabled tests using the Selenium driver.
- How to configure behat.yml for multiple sites.
- How to configure and create a PHP script to feed multiple URLs to Behat.
- How to generate corresponding reports for each site the test runs on.

Understanding Code Complexity and using Static Analysis to measure itIndustry track: Drupal+ Backend |
Experienced programmers can often look at a piece of code and know what’s wrong, or feel what’s wrong. But people are known to miss things or overestimate the impact of any piece of code. Fortunately, mathematics comes to our rescue.
Engineers and mathematicians have tried to measure code complexity based on various factors and give a metric. These metrics help in understanding if the code in question is maintainable or has a lot of dependencies or even if it is too complex to test efficiently. This formal approach at understanding code complexity helps us in removing subjectivity and also allows us to automate using CI.
In this session, we will learn:
- Some of the more common code complexity metrics.
- Tools like phpmd and others which helps us in measuring code complexity.
- Customise phpmd and other wrapper tools to check for precisely the metrics we care about.
- Integrating these tools in your CI environment with a Docker image built for this purpose.
