TDD💙BDD💙PHP - Test-driven development in PHP with phpspec
summary
Demonstrates test-driven and behavior-driven development in PHP using phpspec: shows composer install, describe/run commands, automatic creation of classes and methods, and the red‑green‑refactor loop turning failing examples into passing code. Implements an end‑to‑end FizzBuzz kata, fixes a 20% test break caused by adding strict types, and shows interaction tests using Prophecy mocks and a logger while emphasizing readable specs, constructor injection, and incremental refactors with tests passing at each step.
