summary
Claim: TDD isn't dead but reframed as specification by example, shifting focus from unit test nouns to executable specs that guide design. Demonstrates PHP toolchain: PHPSpec driving examples, interfaces and doubles, refactoring through the red‑green cycle, and integration into Laravel. Builds a Wikipedia‑search highlight component with four passing examples that expand into full behavior, uses hexagonal architecture to isolate domain logic, and shows the feature wired into a controller and working end‑to‑end.
