Overview

In this gist, I attempt to communicate techniques for defining explicit boundaries over naturally occuring boundaries (in this case, the boundary between domain and service/data layers) to empower both testing and to improve comprehensibility of the system.

In my view, testing and application code are one-and-the-same and should evolve together. Testing code should not be an after-thought. I believe that haphazardly designing application code and test code leads to lead-time penalities.

If you'd like to reply, consider replying to this twitter thread. Additionally, I am available on Twitter @ShawnMcCool.

Note: I acknowledge that no techniques are right for everyone. But I have a long history with these techniques and I found them quite adequate for large and small-scale systems.

My Validation Base Class

I was asked how I deal with validation / create and update validation rulesets. Well here is one method I have used. Don't be afraid to build on top of what the framework has already given you. In my projects I use a base class for almost anything. You never know when you want your classes to inherit some common functionality. My BaseValidator actually has some pretty useful methods and properties in it.

<?php

namespace FooProject\Internal\Validators;

use FooProject\Internal\Sanitizers\BaseSanitizer;

	#!/bin/bash
	if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]
	then echo "Please run as root"
	exit
	fi

	apt-get install pkg-config libmagickwand-dev -y
	cd /tmp
	wget https://pecl.php.net/get/imagick-3.4.3.tgz
	tar xvzf imagick-3.4.3.tgz

	# Welcome to Sonic Pi v2.9.0-dev-d0d5c

	use_sample_bpm :loop_amen
	use_bpm_mul 2

	live_loop :foo do
	#sync :dr if spread(1,16).tick(:sync)
	sample :bd_haus if spread(2,4).tick(:bd)
	with_fx :reverb, room: 0.1, damp: 0.1 do
	with_fx :echo, mix: 0.1 do

	#!/bin/bash

	apt-get install mc htop git unzip wget curl -y

	echo
	echo "====================================================="
	echo " WELCOME"
	echo "====================================================="

	echo "Hub"
