Pragmatic TDD

on YouTube ↗01h 58m

" summary

Shows a hands‑on workflow using PHPUnit to build a league standings service: write failing tests, implement record/getStandings, extract TeamStanding, then refactor with a rulebook interface to support old and new tie rules. Demonstrates mock objects to avoid heavy setup, runs focused unit tests, and proves changes by green tests. Codebase ends with passing suites, a concrete advanced‑rule implementation, and examples of where coverage and pragmatic TDD catch regressions.
