Authentication documentation

- -

- One of the trickiest, and yet most important, areas - of testing web sites is the security. - Testing these schemes is one of the core goals of - the SimpleTest web tester. -

- -

Basic HTTP authentication

- -

- If you fetch a page protected by basic authentication then - rather than receiving content, you will instead get a 401 - header. - We can illustrate this with this test... -

-class AuthenticationTest extends WebTestCase {
-    function test401Header() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/protected/');
-        $this->showHeaders();
-    }
-}
-

- This allows us to see the challenge header... -

File test

-HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
-Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 19:25:18 GMT
-Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4
-WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="SimpleTest basic authentication"
-Connection: close
-Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
-

1/1 test cases complete. - 0 passes, 0 fails and 0 exceptions.

- We are trying to get away from visual inspection though, and so SimpleTest - allows to make automated assertions against the challenge. - Here is a thorough test of our header... -

-class AuthenticationTest extends WebTestCase {
-    function test401Header() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/protected/');
-        $this->assertAuthentication('Basic');
-        $this->assertResponse(401);
-        $this->assertRealm('SimpleTest basic authentication');
-    }
-}
-

- Any one of these tests would normally do on it's own depending - on the amount of detail you want to see. -

- One theme that runs through SimpleTest is the ability to use - SimpleExpectation objects wherever a simple - match is not enough. - If you want only an approximate match to the realm for - example, you can do this... -

-class AuthenticationTest extends WebTestCase {
-    function test401Header() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/protected/');
-        $this->assertRealm(new PatternExpectation('/simpletest/i'));
-    }
-}
-

- Most of the time we are not interested in testing the - authentication itself, but want to get past it to test - the pages underneath. - As soon as the challenge has been issued we can reply with - an authentication response... -

-class AuthenticationTest extends WebTestCase {
-    function testCanAuthenticate() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/protected/');
-        $this->authenticate('Me', 'Secret');
-        $this->assertTitle(...);
-    }
-}
-

- The username and password will now be sent with every - subsequent request to that directory and subdirectories. - You will have to authenticate again if you step outside - the authenticated directory, but SimpleTest is smart enough - to merge subdirectories into a common realm. -

- You can shortcut this step further by encoding the log in - details straight into the URL... -

-class AuthenticationTest extends WebTestCase {
-    function testCanReadAuthenticatedPages() {
-        $this->get('http://Me:Secret@www.lastcraft.com/protected/');
-        $this->assertTitle(...);
-    }
-}
-

- If your username or password has special characters, then you - will have to URL encode them or the request will not be parsed - correctly. - Also this header will not be sent on subsequent requests if - you request a page with a fully qualified URL. - If you navigate with relative URLs though, the authentication - information will be preserved. -

- Only basic authentication is currently supported and this is - only really secure in tandem with HTTPS connections. - This is usually enough to protect test server from prying eyes, - however. - Digest authentication and NTLM authentication may be added - in the future. -

- -

Cookies

- -

- Basic authentication doesn't give enough control over the - user interface for web developers. - More likely this functionality will be coded directly into - the web architecture using cookies and complicated timeouts. -

- Starting with a simple log-in form... -

-<form>
-    Username:
-    <input type="text" name="u" value="" /><br />
-    Password:
-    <input type="password" name="p" value="" /><br />
-    <input type="submit" value="Log in" />
-</form>
-

- Which looks like... -

- Let's suppose that in fetching this page a cookie has been - set with a session ID. - We are not going to fill the form in yet, just test that - we are tracking the user. - Here is the test... -

-class LogInTest extends WebTestCase {
-    function testSessionCookieSetBeforeForm() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/login.php');
-        $this->assertCookie('SID');
-    }
-}
-

- All we are doing is confirming that the cookie is set. - As the value is likely to be rather cryptic it's not - really worth testing this with... -

-class LogInTest extends WebTestCase {
-    function testSessionCookieIsCorrectPattern() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/login.php');
-        $this->assertCookie('SID', new PatternExpectation('/[a-f0-9]{32}/i'));
-    }
-}
-

- The rest of the test would be the same as any other form, - but we might want to confirm that we still have the same - cookie after log-in as before we entered. - We wouldn't want to lose track of this after all. - Here is a possible test for this... -

-class LogInTest extends WebTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testSessionCookieSameAfterLogIn() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/login.php');
-        $session = $this->getCookie('SID');
-        $this->setField('u', 'Me');
-        $this->setField('p', 'Secret');
-        $this->click('Log in');
-        $this->assertText('Welcome Me');
-        $this->assertCookie('SID', $session);
-    }
-}
-

- This confirms that the session identifier is maintained - afer log-in. -

- We could even attempt to spoof our own system by setting - arbitrary cookies to gain access... -

-class LogInTest extends WebTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testSessionCookieSameAfterLogIn() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/login.php');
-        $this->setCookie('SID', 'Some other session');
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/restricted.php');
-        $this->assertText('Access denied');
-    }
-}
-

- Is your site protected from this attack? -

- -

Browser sessions

- -

- If you are testing an authentication system a critical piece - of behaviour is what happens when a user logs back in. - We would like to simulate closing and reopening a browser... -

-class LogInTest extends WebTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testLoseAuthenticationAfterBrowserClose() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/login.php');
-        $this->setField('u', 'Me');
-        $this->setField('p', 'Secret');
-        $this->click('Log in');
-        $this->assertText('Welcome Me');
-        
-        $this->restart();
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/restricted.php');
-        $this->assertText('Access denied');
-    }
-}
-

- The WebTestCase::restart() method will - preserve cookies that have unexpired timeouts, but throw away - those that are temporary or expired. - You can optionally specify the time and date that the restart - happened. -

- Expiring cookies can be a problem. - After all, if you have a cookie that expires after an hour, - you don't want to stall the test for an hour while the - cookie passes it's timeout. -

- To push the cookies over the hour limit you can age them - before you restart the session... -

-class LogInTest extends WebTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testLoseAuthenticationAfterOneHour() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/login.php');
-        $this->setField('u', 'Me');
-        $this->setField('p', 'Secret');
-        $this->click('Log in');
-        $this->assertText('Welcome Me');
-        
-        $this->ageCookies(3600);
-        $this->restart();
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/restricted.php');
-        $this->assertText('Access denied');
-    }
-}
-

- After the restart it will appear that cookies are an - hour older and any that pass their expiry will have - disappeared. -

PHP Scriptable Web Browser

- -

- SimpleTest's web browser component can be used not just - outside of the WebTestCase class, but also - independently of the SimpleTest framework itself. -

- -

The Scriptable Browser

- -

- You can use the web browser in PHP scripts to confirm - services are up and running, or to extract information - from them at a regular basis. - For example, here is a small script to extract the current number of - open PHP 5 bugs from the PHP web site... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/browser.php');
-    
-    $browser = &new SimpleBrowser();
-    $browser->get('http://php.net/');
-    $browser->click('reporting bugs');
-    $browser->click('statistics');
-    $page = $browser->click('PHP 5 bugs only');
-    preg_match('/status=Open.*?by=Any.*?(\d+)<\/a>/', $page, $matches);
-    print $matches[1];
-?>
-

- There are simpler methods to do this particular example in PHP - of course. - For example you can just use the PHP file() - command against what here is a pretty fixed page. - However, using the web browser for scripts allows authentication, - correct handling of cookies, automatic loading of frames, redirects, - form submission and the ability to examine the page headers. - Such methods are fragile against a site that is constantly - evolving and you would want a more direct way of accessing - data in a permanent set up, but for simple tasks this can provide - a very rapid solution. -

- All of the navigation methods used in the - WebTestCase - are present in the SimpleBrowser class, but - the assertions are replaced with simpler accessors. - Here is a full list of the page navigation methods... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

get($url, $parameters) Fetch a page with GET
post($url, $parameters) Fetch a page with POST
clickLink($label) Follows a link by label
isLink($label) See if a link is present by label

- The methods SimpleBrowser::useProxy() and - SimpleBrowser::addHeader() are special. - Once called they continue to apply to all subsequent fetches. -

- Navigating forms is similar to the - WebTestCase form navigation... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

clickImageByName($name, $x, $y) Clicks the image by attribute
clickImageById($id, $x, $y) Clicks the image by attribute
submitFormById($id) Submits by the form tag attribute
- At the moment there aren't any methods to list available forms - and fields. - This will probably be added to later versions of SimpleTest. -

- Within a page, individual frames can be selected. - If no selection is made then all the frames are merged together - in one large conceptual page. - The content of the current page will be a concatenation of all of the - frames in the order that they were specified in the "frameset" - tags. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
getFrames() A dump of the current frame structure
getFrameFocus() Current frame label or index
setFrameFocusByIndex($choice) Select a frame numbered from 1
setFrameFocus($name) Select frame by label
clearFrameFocus() Treat all the frames as a single page
- When focused on a single frame, the content will come from - that frame only. - This includes links to click and forms to submit. -

What went wrong?

- -

- All of this functionality is great when we actually manage to fetch pages, - but that doesn't always happen. - To help figure out what went wrong, the browser has some methods to - aid in debugging... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Complex unit tests with multiple browsers

- -

- Anything that could be done in a - WebTestCase can - now be done in a UnitTestCase. - This means that we can freely mix domain object testing with the - web interface... -

-
-class TestOfRegistration extends UnitTestCase {
-    function testNewUserAddedToAuthenticator() {
-        $browser = &new SimpleBrowser();
-        $browser->get('http://my-site.com/register.php');
-        $browser->setField('email', 'me@here');
-        $browser->setField('password', 'Secret');
-        $browser->click('Register');
-        
-        $authenticator = &new Authenticator();
-        $member = &$authenticator->findByEmail('me@here');
-        $this->assertEqual($member->getPassword(), 'Secret');
-    }
-}
-

- While this may be a useful temporary expediency, I am not a fan - of this type of testing. - The testing has cut across application layers, make it twice as - likely it will need refactoring when the code changes. -

- A more useful case of where using the browser directly can be helpful - is where the WebTestCase cannot cope. - An example is where two browsers are needed at the same time. -

- For example, say we want to disallow multiple simultaneous - usage of a site with the same username. - This test case will do the job... -

-class TestOfSecurity extends UnitTestCase {
-    function testNoMultipleLoginsFromSameUser() {
-        $first = &new SimpleBrowser();
-        $first->get('http://my-site.com/login.php');
-        $first->setField('name', 'Me');
-        $first->setField('password', 'Secret');
-        $first->click('Enter');
-        $this->assertEqual($first->getTitle(), 'Welcome');
-        
-        $second = &new SimpleBrowser();
-        $second->get('http://my-site.com/login.php');
-        $second->setField('name', 'Me');
-        $second->setField('password', 'Secret');
-        $second->click('Enter');
-        $this->assertEqual($second->getTitle(), 'Access Denied');
-    }
-}
-

- You can also use the SimpleBrowser class - directly when you want to write test cases using a different - test tool than SimpleTest. -

More control over mock objects

- -

- The default behaviour of the - mock objects - in - SimpleTest - is either an identical match on the argument or to allow any argument at all. - For almost all tests this is sufficient. - Sometimes, though, you want to weaken a test case. -

- One place where a test can be too tightly coupled is with - text matching. - Suppose we have a component that outputs a helpful error - message when something goes wrong. - You want to test that the correct error was sent, but the actual - text may be rather long. - If you test for the text exactly, then every time the exact wording - of the message changes, you will have to go back and edit the test suite. -

- For example, suppose we have a news service that has failed - to connect to its remote source. -

-class NewsService {
-    ...
-    function publish(&$writer) {
-        if (! $this->isConnected()) {
-            $writer->write('Cannot connect to news service "' .
-                    $this->_name . '" at this time. ' .
-                    'Please try again later.');
-        }
-        ...
-    }
-}
-

- Here it is sending its content to a - Writer class. - We could test this behaviour with a - MockWriter like so... -

-class TestOfNewsService extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnectionFailure() {<strong>
-        $writer = &new MockWriter();
-        $writer->expectOnce('write', array(
-                'Cannot connect to news service ' .
-                '"BBC News" at this time. ' .
-                'Please try again later.'));
-        
-        $service = &new NewsService('BBC News');
-        $service->publish($writer);
-    }
-}
-

- This is a good example of a brittle test. - If we decide to add additional instructions, such as - suggesting an alternative news source, we will break - our tests even though no underlying functionality - has been altered. -

- To get around this, we would like to do a regular expression - test rather than an exact match. - We can actually do this with... -

-class TestOfNewsService extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnectionFailure() {
-        $writer = &new MockWriter();
-        $writer->expectOnce(
-                'write',
-                array(new PatternExpectation('/cannot connect/i')));
-        
-        $service = &new NewsService('BBC News');
-        $service->publish($writer);
-    }
-}
-

- Instead of passing in the expected parameter to the - MockWriter we pass an - expectation class called - WantedPatternExpectation. - The mock object is smart enough to recognise this as special - and to treat it differently. - Rather than simply comparing the incoming argument to this - object, it uses the expectation object itself to - perform the test. -

- The WantedPatternExpectation takes - the regular expression to match in its constructor. - Whenever a comparison is made by the MockWriter - against this expectation class, it will do a - preg_match() with this pattern. - With our test case above, as long as "cannot connect" - appears in the text of the string, the mock will issue a pass - to the unit tester. - The rest of the text does not matter. -

- The possible expectation classes are... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
EqualExpectation An equality, rather than the stronger identity comparison
NotEqualExpectation An inequality comparison
IndenticalExpectation The default mock object check which must match exactly
NotIndenticalExpectation Inverts the mock object logic
PatternExpectation Uses a Perl Regex to match a string
NoPatternExpectation Passes only if failing a Perl Regex
IsAExpectation Checks the type or class name only
NotAExpectation Opposite of the IsAExpectation
MethodExistsExpectation Checks a method is available on an object
- Most take the expected value in the constructor. - The exceptions are the pattern matchers, which take a regular expression, - and the IsAExpectation and NotAExpectation which takes a type - or class name as a string. -

- The expectation classes can be used not just for sending assertions - from mock objects, but also for selecting behaviour for the - mock objects. - Anywhere a list of arguments is given, a list of expectation objects - can be inserted instead. -

- Suppose we want an authorisation server mock to simulate a successful login - only if it receives a valid session object. - We can do this as follows... -

-Mock::generate('Authorisation');
-
-$authorisation = new MockAuthorisation();
-$authorisation->setReturnValue(
-        'isAllowed',
-        true,
-        array(new IsAExpectation('Session', 'Must be a session')));
-$authorisation->setReturnValue('isAllowed', false);
-

- We have set the default mock behaviour to return false when - isAllowed is called. - When we call the method with a single parameter that - is a Session object, it will return true. - We have also added a second parameter as a message. - This will be displayed as part of the mock object - failure message if this expectation is the cause of - a failure. -

- This kind of sophistication is rarely useful, but is included for - completeness. -

- -

Creating your own expectations

- -

- The expectation classes have a very simple structure. - So simple that it is easy to create your own versions for - commonly used test logic. -

- As an example here is the creation of a class to test for - valid IP addresses. - In order to work correctly with the stubs and mocks the new - expectation class should extend - SimpleExpectation... -

-class ValidIp extends SimpleExpectation {
-    
-    function test($ip) {
-        return (ip2long($ip) != -1);
-    }
-    
-    function testMessage($ip) {
-        return "Address [$ip] should be a valid IP address";
-    }
-}
-

- There are only two methods to implement. - The test() method should - evaluate to true if the expectation is to pass, and - false otherwise. - The testMessage() method - should simply return some helpful text explaining the test - that was carried out. -

- This class can now be used in place of the earlier expectation - classes. -

- -

Under the bonnet of the unit tester

- -

- The SimpleTest unit testing framework - also uses the expectation classes internally for the - UnitTestCase class. - We can also take advantage of these mechanisms to reuse our - homebrew expectation classes within the test suites directly. -

- The most crude way of doing this is to use the - SimpleTest::assert() method to - test against it directly... -

-class TestOfNetworking extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testGetValidIp() {
-        $server = &new Server();
-        $this->assert(
-                new ValidIp(),
-                $server->getIp(),
-                'Server IP address->%s');
-    }
-}
-

- This is a little untidy compared with our usual - assert...() syntax. -

- For such a simple case we would normally create a - separate assertion method on our test case rather - than bother using the expectation class. - If we pretend that our expectation is a little more - complicated for a moment, so that we want to reuse it, - we get... -

-class TestOfNetworking extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function assertValidIp($ip, $message = '%s') {
-        $this->assert(new ValidIp(), $ip, $message);
-    }
-    
-    function testGetValidIp() {
-        $server = &new Server();
-        $this->assertValidIp(
-                $server->getIp(),
-                'Server IP address->%s');
-    }
-}
-

- It is unlikely we would ever need this degree of control - over the testing machinery. - It is rare to need the expectations for more than pattern - matching. - Also, complex expectation classes could make the tests - harder to read and debug. - These mechanisms are really of most use to authors of systems - that will extend the test framework to create their own tool set. -

Form testing documentation

- -

Submitting a simple form

- -

- When a page is fetched by the WebTestCase - using get() or - post() the page content is - automatically parsed. - This results in any form controls that are inside <form> tags - being available from within the test case. - For example, if we have this snippet of HTML... -

-<form>
-    <input type="text" name="a" value="A default" />
-    <input type="submit" value="Go" />
-</form>
-

- Which looks like this... -

- We can navigate to this code, via the - LastCraft - site, with the following test... -

-class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function testDefaultValue() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/form_testing_documentation.php');
-        $this->assertField('a', 'A default');
-    }
-}
-

- Immediately after loading the page all of the HTML controls are set at - their default values just as they would appear in the web browser. - The assertion tests that a HTML widget exists in the page with the - name "a" and that it is currently set to the value - "A default". - As usual, we could use a pattern expectation instead if a fixed - string. -

- We could submit the form straight away, but first we'll change - the value of the text field and only then submit it... -

-class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
-
-    function testDefaultValue() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/');
-        $this->assertField('a', 'A default');
-        $this->setField('a', 'New value');
-        $this->click('Go');
-    }
-}
-

- Because we didn't specify a method attribute on the form tag, and - didn't specify an action either, the test case will follow - the usual browser behaviour of submitting the form data as a GET - request back to the same location. - SimpleTest tries to emulate typical browser behaviour as much as possible, - rather than attempting to catch missing attributes on tags. - This is because the target of the testing framework is the PHP application - logic, not syntax or other errors in the HTML code. - For HTML errors, other tools such as - HTMLTidy should be used. -

- If a field is not present in any form, or if an option is unavailable, - then WebTestCase::setField() will return - false. - For example, suppose we wish to verify that a "Superuser" - option is not present in this form... -

-<strong>Select type of user to add:</strong>
-<select name="type">
-    <option>Subscriber</option>
-    <option>Author</option>
-    <option>Administrator</option>
-</select>
-

- Which looks like... -

- The following test will confirm it... -

-class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testNoSuperuserChoiceAvailable() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/form_testing_documentation.php');
-        $this->assertFalse($this->setField('type', 'Superuser'));
-    }
-}
-

- The selection will not be changed on a failure to set - a widget value. -

- Here is the full list of widgets currently supported... -

Text fields, including hidden and password fields.
Submit buttons including the button tag, although not yet reset buttons
Text area. This includes text wrapping behaviour.
Checkboxes, including multiple checkboxes in the same form.
Drop down selections, including multiple selects.
Radio buttons.
Images.

- Although most standard HTML widgets are catered for by SimpleTest's - built in parser, it is unlikely that JavaScript will be implemented - anytime soon. -

- -

Fields with multiple values

- -

- SimpleTest can cope with two types of multivalue controls: Multiple - selection drop downs, and multiple checkboxes with the same name - within a form. - The multivalue nature of these means that setting and testing - are slightly different. - Using checkboxes as an example... -

-<form class="demo">
-    <strong>Create privileges allowed:</strong>
-    <input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="c" checked><br>
-    <strong>Retrieve privileges allowed:</strong>
-    <input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="r" checked><br>
-    <strong>Update privileges allowed:</strong>
-    <input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="u" checked><br>
-    <strong>Destroy privileges allowed:</strong>
-    <input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="d" checked><br>
-    <input type="submit" value="Enable Privileges">
-</form>
-

- Which renders as... -

- If we wish to disable all but the retrieval privileges and - submit this information we can do it like this... -

-class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testDisableNastyPrivileges() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/form_testing_documentation.php');
-        $this->assertField('crud', array('c', 'r', 'u', 'd'));
-        $this->setField('crud', array('r'));
-        $this->click('Enable Privileges');
-    }
-}
-

- Instead of setting the field to a single value, we give it a list - of values. - We do the same when testing expected values. - We can then write other test code to confirm the effect of this, perhaps - by logging in as that user and attempting an update. -

- -

Raw posting

- -

- If you want to test a form handler, but have not yet written - or do not have access to the form itself, you can create a - form submission by hand. -

-class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
-    ...    
-    function testAttemptedHack() {
-        $this->post(
-                'http://www.my-site.com/add_user.php',
-                array('type' => 'superuser'));
-        $this->assertNoText('user created');
-    }
-}
-

- By adding data to the WebTestCase::post() - method, we are attempting to fetch the page as a form submission. -

Group Test documentation

- -

Grouping tests

- -

- To run test cases as part of a group the test cases should really - be placed in files without the runner code... -

-<?php
-    require_once('../classes/io.php');
-
-    class FileTester extends UnitTestCase {
-        ...
-    }
-
-    class SocketTester extends UnitTestCase {
-        ...
-    }
-?>
-

- As many cases as needed can appear in a single file. - They should include any code they need, such as the library - being tested, but none of the simple test libraries. -

- If you have extended any test cases, you can include them - as well. -

-<?php
-    require_once('../classes/io.php');
-
-    class MyFileTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
-        ...
-    }
-    SimpleTest::ignore('MyFileTestCase');
-
-    class FileTester extends MyFileTestCase {
-        ...
-    }
-
-    class SocketTester extends UnitTestCase {
-        ...
-    }
-?>
-

- The FileTester class does - not contain any actual tests, but is a base class for other - test cases. - For this reason we use the - SimpleTestOptions::ignore() directive - to tell the upcoming group test to ignore it. - This directive can appear anywhere in the file and works - when a whole file of test cases is loaded (see below). - We will call this sample file_test.php. -

- Next we create a group test file, called say group_test.php. - You will think of a better name I am sure. - We will add the test file using a safe method... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-    require_once('file_test.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('All file tests');
-    $test->addTestCase(new FileTestCase());
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- This instantiates the test case before the test suite is - run. - This could get a little expensive with a large number of test - cases, so another method is provided that will only - instantiate the class when it is needed... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-    require_once('file_test.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('All file tests');
-    $test->addTestClass('FileTestCase');
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- The problem with this method is that for every test case - that we add we will have - to require_once() the test code - file and manually instantiate each and every test case. - We can save a lot of typing with... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('All file tests');
-    $test->addTestFile('file_test.php');
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?&gt;
-

- What happens here is that the GroupTest - class has done the require_once() - for us. - It then checks to see if any new test case classes - have been created by the new file and automatically adds - them to the group test. - Now all we have to do is add each new file. -

- There are two things that could go wrong and which require care... -

- The file could already have been parsed by PHP and so no - new classes will have been added. You should make - sure that the test cases are only included in this file - and no others. -
- New test case extension classes that get included will be - placed in the group test and run also. - You will need to add a SimpleTestOptions::ignore() - directive for these classes or make sure that they are included - before the GroupTest::addTestFile() - line. -

- -

Higher groupings

- -

- The above method places all of the test cases into one large group. - For larger projects though this may not be flexible enough; you - may want to group the tests in all sorts of ways. -

- To get a more flexible group test we can subclass - GroupTest and then instantiate it as needed... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-    
-    class FileGroupTest extends GroupTest {
-        function FileGroupTest() {
-            $this->GroupTest('All file tests');
-            $this->addTestFile('file_test.php');
-        }
-    }
-?>
-

- This effectively names the test in the constructor and then - adds our test cases and a single group below. - Of course we can add more than one group at this point. - We can now invoke the tests from a separate runner file... -

-<?php
-    require_once('file_group_test.php');
-    
-    $test = &new FileGroupTest();
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- ...or we can group them into even larger group tests... -

-<?php
-    require_once('file_group_test.php');
-    
-    $test = &new BigGroupTest('Big group');
-    $test->addTestCase(new FileGroupTest());
-    $test->addTestCase(...);
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- If we still wish to run the original group test and we - don't want all of these little runner files, we can - put the test runner code around guard bars when we create - each group. -

-<?php
-    class FileGroupTest extends GroupTest {
-        function FileGroupTest() {
-            $this->GroupTest('All file tests');
-            $test->addTestFile('file_test.php');
-        }
-    }
-    
-    if (! defined('RUNNER')) {
-        define('RUNNER', true);
-        $test = &new FileGroupTest();
-        $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-    }
-?>
-

- This approach requires the guard to be set when including - the group test file, but this is still less hassle than - lots of separate runner files. - You include the same guard on the top level tests to make sure - that run() will run once only - from the top level script that has been invoked. -

-<?php
-    define('RUNNER', true);
-    require_once('file_group_test.php');
-
-    $test = &new BigGroupTest('Big group');
-    $test->addTestCase(new FileGroupTest());
-    $test->addTestCase(...);
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- As with the normal test cases, a GroupTest can - be loaded with the GroupTest::addTestFile() method. -

-<?php
-    define('RUNNER', true);
-
-    $test = &new BigGroupTest('Big group');
-    $test->addTestFile('file_group_test.php');
-    $test->addTestFile(...);
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- -

Integrating legacy test cases

- -

- If you already have unit tests for your code or are extending external - classes that have tests, it is unlikely that all of the test cases - are in SimpleTest format. - Fortunately it is possible to incorporate test cases from other - unit testers directly into SimpleTest group tests. -

- Say we have the following - PhpUnit - test case in the file config_test.php... -

-class ConfigFileTest extends TestCase {
-    function ConfigFileTest() {
-        $this->TestCase('Config file test');
-    }
-    
-    function testContents() {
-        $config = new ConfigFile('test.conf');
-        $this->assertRegexp('/me/', $config->getValue('username'));
-    }
-}
-

- The group test can recognise this as long as we include - the appropriate adapter class before we add the test - file... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/adapters/phpunit_test_case.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('All file tests');
-    $test->addTestFile('config_test.php');
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- There are only two adapters, the other is for the - PEAR - 1.0 unit tester... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/adapters/pear_test_case.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('All file tests');
-    $test->addTestFile('some_pear_test_cases.php');
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- The PEAR test cases can be freely mixed with SimpleTest - ones even in the same test file, - but you cannot use SimpleTest assertions in the legacy - test case versions. - This is done as a check that you are not accidently making - your test cases completely dependent on SimpleTest. - You may want to do a PEAR release of your library for example - which would mean shipping it with valid PEAR::PhpUnit test - cases. -

Simple Test for PHP

- - -

- The following assumes that you are familiar with the concept - of unit testing as well as the PHP web development language. - It is a guide for the impatient new user of - SimpleTest. - For fuller documentation, especially if you are new - to unit testing see the ongoing - documentation, and for - example test cases see the - unit testing tutorial. -

- -

Using the tester quickly

- -

- Amongst software testing tools, a unit tester is the one - closest to the developer. - In the context of agile development the test code sits right - next to the source code as both are written simultaneously. - In this context SimpleTest aims to be a complete PHP developer - test solution and is called "Simple" because it - should be easy to use and extend. - It wasn't a good choice of name really. - It includes all of the typical functions you would expect from - JUnit and the - PHPUnit - ports, but also adds - mock objects. - It has some JWebUnit - functionality as well. - This includes web page navigation, cookie testing and form submission. -

- The quickest way to demonstrate is with an example. -

- Let us suppose we are testing a simple file logging class called - Log in classes/log.php. - We start by creating a test script which we will call - tests/log_test.php and populate it as follows... -

-<?php
-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-require_once('../classes/log.php');
-
-class TestOfLogging extends UnitTestCase {
-}
-?>
-

- Here the simpletest folder is either local or in the path. - You would have to edit these locations depending on where you - placed the toolset. - The TestOfLogging is our frst test case and it's - currently empty. -

- Now we have five lines of scaffolding code and still no tests. - However from this part on we get return on our investment very quickly. - We'll assume that the Log class - takes the file name to write to in the constructor and we have - a temporary folder in which to place this file... -

-<?php
-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-require_once('../classes/log.php');
-
-class TestOfLogging extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testCreatingNewFile() {
-        @unlink('/temp/test.log');
-        $log = new Log('/temp/test.log');
-        $this->assertFalse(file_exists('/temp/test.log'));
-        $log->message('Should write this to a file');
-        $this->assertTrue(file_exists('/temp/test.log'));
-    }
-}
-?>
-

- When a test case runs it will search for any method that - starts with the string test - and execute that method. - We would normally have more than one test method of course. - Assertions within the test methods trigger messages to the - test framework which displays the result immediately. - This immediate response is important, not just in the event - of the code causing a crash, but also so that - print statements can display - their content right next to the test case concerned. -

- To see these results we have to actually run the tests. - If this is the only test case we wish to run we can achieve - it with... -

-<?php
-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-require_once('../classes/log.php');
-
-class TestOfLogging extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testCreatingNewFile() {
-        @unlink('/temp/test.log');
-        $log = new Log('/temp/test.log');
-        $this->assertFalse(file_exists('/temp/test.log'));
-        $log->message('Should write this to a file');
-        $this->assertTrue(file_exists('/temp/test.log'));
-    }
-}
-
-$test = &new TestOfLogging();
-$test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- On failure the display looks like this... -

testoflogging

- Fail: testcreatingnewfile->True assertion failed.
-

1/1 test cases complete. - 1 passes and 1 fails.

- ...and if it passes like this... -

testoflogging

1/1 test cases complete. - 2 passes and 0 fails.

- And if you get this... -

- Fatal error: Failed opening required '../classes/log.php' (include_path='') in /home/marcus/projects/lastcraft/tutorial_tests/Log/tests/log_test.php on line 7 -

- it means you're missing the classes/Log.php file that could look like... -

-<?php
-class Log {
-    
-        function Log($file_path) {
-        }
-
-		function message() {
-		}
-}
-?>;
-

- -

Building group tests

- -

- It is unlikely in a real application that we will only ever run - one test case. - This means that we need a way of grouping cases into a test - script that can, if need be, run every test in the application. -

- Our first step is to strip the includes and to undo our - previous hack... -

-<?php
-require_once('../classes/log.php');
-
-class TestOfLogging extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testCreatingNewFile() {
-        @unlink('/temp/test.log');
-        $log = new Log('/temp/test.log');
-        $this->assertFalse(file_exists('/temp/test.log'));
-        $log->message('Should write this to a file');
-        $this->assertTrue(file_exists('/temp/test.log'));
-    }
-}
-?>
-

- Next we create a new file called tests/all_tests.php - and insert the following code... -

-<?php
-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-
-$test = &new GroupTest('All tests');
-$test->addTestFile('log_test.php');
-$test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- The method GroupTest::addTestFile() - will include the test case file and read any new classes created - that are descended from SimpleTestCase, of which - UnitTestCase is one example. - Just the class names are stored for now, so that the test runner - can instantiate the class when it works its way - through your test suite. -

- For this to work properly the test case file should not blindly include - any other test case extensions that do not actually run tests. - This could result in extra test cases being counted during the test - run. - Hardly a major problem, but to avoid this inconvenience simply add - a SimpleTestOptions::ignore() directive - somewhere in the test case file. - Also the test case file should not have been included - elsewhere or no cases will be added to this group test. - This would be a more serious error as if the test case classes are - already loaded by PHP the GroupTest::addTestFile() - method will not detect them. -

- To display the results it is necessary only to invoke - tests/all_tests.php from the web server. -

- -

Using mock objects

- -

- Let's move further into the future. -

- Assume that our logging class is tested and completed. - Assume also that we are testing another class that is - required to write log messages, say a - SessionPool. - We want to test a method that will probably end up looking - like this... -

-
-class SessionPool {
-    ...
-    function logIn($username) {
-        ...
-        $this->_log->message("User $username logged in.");
-        ...
-    }
-    ...
-}
-
-

- In the spirit of reuse we are using our - Log class. - A conventional test case might look like this... -

-
-<?php
-require_once('../classes/log.php');
-require_once('../classes/session_pool.php');
-
-class TestOfSessionLogging extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function setUp() {
-        @unlink('/temp/test.log');
-    }
-    
-    function tearDown() {
-        @unlink('/temp/test.log');
-    }
-    
-    function testLogInIsLogged() {
-        $log = new Log('/temp/test.log');
-        $session_pool = &new SessionPool($log);
-        $session_pool->logIn('fred');
-        $messages = file('/temp/test.log');
-        $this->assertEqual($messages[0], "User fred logged in.\n");
-    }
-}
-?>
-

- This test case design is not all bad, but it could be improved. - We are spending time fiddling with log files which are - not part of our test. Worse, we have created close ties - with the Log class and - this test. - What if we don't use files any more, but use ths - syslog library instead? - Did you notice the extra carriage return in the message? - Was that added by the logger? - What if it also added a time stamp or other data? -

- The only part that we really want to test is that a particular - message was sent to the logger. - We reduce coupling if we can pass in a fake logging class - that simply records the message calls for testing, but - takes no action. - It would have to look exactly like our original though. -

- If the fake object doesn't write to a file then we save on deleting - the file before and after each test. We could save even more - test code if the fake object would kindly run the assertion for us. -

- Too good to be true? - Luckily we can create such an object easily... -

-<?php
-require_once('../classes/log.php');
-require_once('../classes/session_pool.php');
-Mock::generate('Log');
-
-class TestOfSessionLogging extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testLogInIsLogged() {
-        $log = &new MockLog();
-        $log->expectOnce('message', array('User fred logged in.'));
-        $session_pool = &new SessionPool($log);
-        $session_pool->logIn('fred');
-    }
-}
-?>
-

- The test will be triggered when the call to - message() is invoked on the - MockLog object. - The mock call will trigger a parameter comparison and then send the - resulting pass or fail event to the test display. - Wildcards can be included here too so as to prevent tests - becoming too specific. -

- If the mock reaches the end of the test case without the - method being called, the expectOnce() - expectation will trigger a test failure. - In other words the mocks can detect the absence of - behaviour as well as the presence. -

- The mock objects in the SimpleTest suite can have arbitrary - return values set, sequences of returns, return values - selected according to the incoming arguments, sequences of - parameter expectations and limits on the number of times - a method is to be invoked. -

- For this test to run the mock objects library must have been - included in the test suite, say in all_tests.php. -

- -

Web page testing

- -

- One of the requirements of web sites is that they produce web - pages. - If you are building a project top-down and you want to fully - integrate testing along the way then you will want a way of - automatically navigating a site and examining output for - correctness. - This is the job of a web tester. -

- The web testing in SimpleTest is fairly primitive, there is - no JavaScript for example. - To give an idea here is a trivial example where a home - page is fetched, from which we navigate to an "about" - page and then test some client determined content. -

-<?php
-require_once('simpletest/web_tester.php');
-require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-
-class TestOfAbout extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function setUp() {
-        $this->get('http://test-server/index.php');
-        $this->click('About');
-    }
-    
-    function testSearchEngineOptimisations() {
-        $this->assertTitle('A long title about us for search engines');
-        $this->assertPattern('/a popular keyphrase/i');
-    }
-}
-$test = &new TestOfAbout();
-$test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- With this code as an acceptance test you can ensure that - the content always meets the specifications of both the - developers and the other project stakeholders. -

Mock objects documentation

- -

What are mock objects?

- -

- Mock objects have two roles during a test case: actor and critic. -

- The actor behaviour is to simulate objects that are difficult to - set up or time consuming to set up for a test. - The classic example is a database connection. - Setting up a test database at the start of each test would slow - testing to a crawl and would require the installation of the - database engine and test data on the test machine. - If we can simulate the connection and return data of our - choosing we not only win on the pragmatics of testing, but can - also feed our code spurious data to see how it responds. - We can simulate databases being down or other extremes - without having to create a broken database for real. - In other words, we get greater control of the test environment. -

- If mock objects only behaved as actors they would simply be - known as server stubs. - This was originally a pattern named by Robert Binder (Testing - object-oriented systems: models, patterns, and tools, - Addison-Wesley) in 1999. -

- A server stub is a simulation of an object or component. - It should exactly replace a component in a system for test - or prototyping purposes, but remain lightweight. - This allows tests to run more quickly, or if the simulated - class has not been written, to run at all. -

- However, the mock objects not only play a part (by supplying chosen - return values on demand) they are also sensitive to the - messages sent to them (via expectations). - By setting expected parameters for a method call they act - as a guard that the calls upon them are made correctly. - If expectations are not met they save us the effort of - writing a failed test assertion by performing that duty on our - behalf. -

- In the case of an imaginary database connection they can - test that the query, say SQL, was correctly formed by - the object that is using the connection. - Set them up with fairly tight expectations and you will - hardly need manual assertions at all. -

- -

Creating mock objects

- -

- In the same way that we create server stubs, all we need is an - existing class, say a database connection that looks like this... -

-class DatabaseConnection {
-    function DatabaseConnection() {
-    }
-    
-    function query() {
-    }
-    
-    function selectQuery() {
-    }
-}
-

- The class does not need to have been implemented yet. - To create a mock version of the class we need to include the - mock object library and run the generator... -

-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-require_once('simpletest/mock_objects.php');
-require_once('database_connection.php');
-
-Mock::generate('DatabaseConnection');
-

- This generates a clone class called - MockDatabaseConnection. - We can now create instances of the new class within - our test case... -

-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-require_once('simpletest/mock_objects.php');
-require_once('database_connection.php');
-
-Mock::generate('DatabaseConnection');
-
-class MyTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testSomething() {
-        $connection = &new MockDatabaseConnection();
-    }
-}
-

- Unlike the generated stubs the mock constructor needs a reference - to the test case so that it can dispatch passes and failures while - checking its expectations. - This means that mock objects can only be used within test cases. - Despite this their extra power means that stubs are hardly ever used - if mocks are available. -

- -

Mocks as actors

- -

- The mock version of a class has all the methods of the original, - so that operations like - $connection->query() are still - legal. - The return value will be null, - but we can change that with... -

-$connection->setReturnValue('query', 37)
-

- Now every time we call - $connection->query() we get - the result of 37. - We can set the return value to anything, say a hash of - imaginary database results or a list of persistent objects. - Parameters are irrelevant here, we always get the same - values back each time once they have been set up this way. - That may not sound like a convincing replica of a - database connection, but for the half a dozen lines of - a test method it is usually all you need. -

- We can also add extra methods to the mock when generating it - and choose our own class name... -

-Mock::generate('DatabaseConnection', 'MyMockDatabaseConnection', array('setOptions'));
-

- Here the mock will behave as if the setOptions() - existed in the original class. - This is handy if a class has used the PHP overload() - mechanism to add dynamic methods. - You can create a special mock to simulate this situation. -

- Things aren't always that simple though. - One common problem is iterators, where constantly returning - the same value could cause an endless loop in the object - being tested. - For these we need to set up sequences of values. - Let's say we have a simple iterator that looks like this... -

-class Iterator {
-    function Iterator() {
-    }
-    
-    function next() {
-    }
-}
-

- This is about the simplest iterator you could have. - Assuming that this iterator only returns text until it - reaches the end, when it returns false, we can simulate it - with... -

-Mock::generate('Iterator');
-
-class IteratorTest extends UnitTestCase() {
-    
-    function testASequence() {
-        $iterator = &new MockIterator();
-        $iterator->setReturnValue('next', false);
-        $iterator->setReturnValueAt(0, 'next', 'First string');
-        $iterator->setReturnValueAt(1, 'next', 'Second string');
-        ...
-    }
-}
-

- When next() is called on the - mock iterator it will first return "First string", - on the second call "Second string" will be returned - and on any other call false will - be returned. - The sequenced return values take precedence over the constant - return value. - The constant one is a kind of default if you like. -

- Another tricky situation is an overloaded - get() operation. - An example of this is an information holder with name/value pairs. - Say we have a configuration class like... -

-class Configuration {
-    function Configuration() {
-    }
-    
-    function getValue($key) {
-    }
-}
-

- This is a classic situation for using mock objects as - actual configuration will vary from machine to machine, - hardly helping the reliability of our tests if we use it - directly. - The problem though is that all the data comes through the - getValue() method and yet - we want different results for different keys. - Luckily the mocks have a filter system... -

-$config = &new MockConfiguration();
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', 'primary', array('db_host'));
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', 'admin', array('db_user'));
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', 'secret', array('db_password'));
-

- The extra parameter is a list of arguments to attempt - to match. - In this case we are trying to match only one argument which - is the look up key. - Now when the mock object has the - getValue() method invoked - like this... -

-$config->getValue('db_user')
-

- ...it will return "admin". - It finds this by attempting to match the calling arguments - to its list of returns one after another until - a complete match is found. -

- You can set a default argument argument like so... -

-
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', false, array('*'));
-

- This is not the same as setting the return value without - any argument requirements like this... -

-
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', false);
-

- In the first case it will accept any single argument, - but exactly one is required. - In the second case any number of arguments will do and - it acts as a catchall after all other matches. - Note that if we add further single parameter options after - the wildcard in the first case, they will be ignored as the wildcard - will match first. - With complex parameter lists the ordering could be important - or else desired matches could be masked by earlier wildcard - ones. - Declare the most specific matches first if you are not sure. -

- There are times when you want a specific object to be - dished out by the mock rather than a copy. - The PHP4 copy semantics force us to use a different method - for this. - You might be simulating a container for example... -

-class Thing {
-}
-
-class Vector {
-    function Vector() {
-    }
-    
-    function get($index) {
-    }
-}
-

- In this case you can set a reference into the mock's - return list... -

-$thing = &new Thing();
-$vector = &new MockVector();
-$vector->setReturnReference('get', $thing, array(12));
-

- With this arrangement you know that every time - $vector->get(12) is - called it will return the same - $thing each time. - This is compatible with PHP5 as well. -

- These three factors, timing, parameters and whether to copy, - can be combined orthogonally. - For example... -

-$complex = &new MockComplexThing();
-$stuff = &new Stuff();
-$complex->setReturnReferenceAt(3, 'get', $stuff, array('*', 1));
-

- This will return the $stuff only on the third - call and only if two parameters were set the second of - which must be the integer 1. - That should cover most simple prototyping situations. -

- A final tricky case is one object creating another, known - as a factory pattern. - Suppose that on a successful query to our imaginary - database, a result set is returned as an iterator with - each call to next() giving - one row until false. - This sounds like a simulation nightmare, but in fact it can all - be mocked using the mechanics above. -

- Here's how... -

-Mock::generate('DatabaseConnection');
-Mock::generate('ResultIterator');
-
-class DatabaseTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testUserFinder() {
-        $result = &new MockResultIterator();
-        $result->setReturnValue('next', false);
-        $result->setReturnValueAt(0, 'next', array(1, 'tom'));
-        $result->setReturnValueAt(1, 'next', array(3, 'dick'));
-        $result->setReturnValueAt(2, 'next', array(6, 'harry'));
-        
-        $connection = &new MockDatabaseConnection();
-        $connection->setReturnValue('query', false);
-        $connection->setReturnReference(
-                'query',
-                $result,
-                array('select id, name from users'));
-                
-        $finder = &new UserFinder($connection);
-        $this->assertIdentical(
-                $finder->findNames(),
-                array('tom', 'dick', 'harry'));
-    }
-}
-

- Now only if our - $connection is called with the correct - query() will the - $result be returned that is - itself exhausted after the third call to next(). - This should be enough - information for our UserFinder class, - the class actually - being tested here, to come up with goods. - A very precise test and not a real database in sight. -

- -

Mocks as critics

- -

- Although the server stubs approach insulates your tests from - real world disruption, it is only half the benefit. - You can have the class under test receiving the required - messages, but is your new class sending correct ones? - Testing this can get messy without a mock objects library. -

- By way of example, suppose we have a - SessionPool class that we - want to add logging to. - Rather than grow the original class into something more - complicated, we want to add this behaviour with a decorator (GOF). - The SessionPool code currently looks - like this... -

-class SessionPool {
-    function SessionPool() {
-        ...
-    }
-    
-    function &findSession($cookie) {
-        ...
-    }
-    ...
-}
-
-class Session {
-    ...
-}
-</php>
-                While our logging code looks like this...
-<php>
-class Log {
-    function Log() {
-        ...
-    }
-    
-    function message() {
-        ...
-    }
-}
-
-class LoggingSessionPool {
-    function LoggingSessionPool(&$session_pool, &$log) {
-        ...
-    }
-    
-    function &findSession(\$cookie) {
-        ...
-    }
-    ...
-}
-

- Out of all of this, the only class we want to test here - is the LoggingSessionPool. - In particular we would like to check that the - findSession() method is - called with the correct session ID in the cookie and that - it sent the message "Starting session $cookie" - to the logger. -

- Despite the fact that we are testing only a few lines of - production code, here is what we would have to do in a - conventional test case: -

Create a log object.
Set a directory to place the log file.
Set the directory permissions so we can write the log.
Create a SessionPool object.
Hand start a session, which probably does lot's of things.
Invoke findSession().
Read the new Session ID (hope there is an accessor!).
Raise a test assertion to confirm that the ID matches the cookie.
Read the last line of the log file.
Pattern match out the extra logging timestamps, etc.
Assert that the session message is contained in the text.

- It is hardly surprising that developers hate writing tests - when they are this much drudgery. - To make things worse, every time the logging format changes or - the method of creating new sessions changes, we have to rewrite - parts of this test even though this test does not officially - test those parts of the system. - We are creating headaches for the writers of these other classes. -

- Instead, here is the complete test method using mock object magic... -

-Mock::generate('Session');
-Mock::generate('SessionPool');
-Mock::generate('Log');
-
-class LoggingSessionPoolTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testFindSessionLogging() {
-        $session = &new MockSession();
-        $pool = &new MockSessionPool();
-        $pool->setReturnReference('findSession', $session);
-        $pool->expectOnce('findSession', array('abc'));
-        
-        $log = &new MockLog();
-        $log->expectOnce('message', array('Starting session abc'));
-        
-        $logging_pool = &new LoggingSessionPool($pool, $log);
-        $this->assertReference($logging_pool->findSession('abc'), $session);
-    }
-}
-

- We start by creating a dummy session. - We don't have to be too fussy about this as the check - for which session we want is done elsewhere. - We only need to check that it was the same one that came - from the session pool. -

- findSession() is a factory - method the simulation of which is described above. - The point of departure comes with the first - expectOnce() call. - This line states that whenever - findSession() is invoked on the - mock, it will test the incoming arguments. - If it receives the single argument of a string "abc" - then a test pass is sent to the unit tester, otherwise a fail is - generated. - This was the part where we checked that the right session was asked for. - The argument list follows the same format as the one for setting - return values. - You can have wildcards and sequences and the order of - evaluation is the same. -

- We use the same pattern to set up the mock logger. - We tell it that it should have - message() invoked - once only with the argument "Starting session abc". - By testing the calling arguments, rather than the logger output, - we insulate the test from any display changes in the logger. -

- We start to run our tests when we create the new - LoggingSessionPool and feed - it our preset mock objects. - Everything is now under our control. -

- This is still quite a bit of test code, but the code is very - strict. - If it still seems rather daunting there is a lot less of it - than if we tried this without mocks and this particular test, - interactions rather than output, is always more work to set - up. - More often you will be testing more complex situations without - needing this level or precision. - Also some of this can be refactored into a test case - setUp() method. -

- Here is the full list of expectations you can set on a mock object - in SimpleTest... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Expectation Needs tally()
expect($method, $args) No
expectAt($timing, $method, $args) No
expectCallCount($method, $count) Yes
expectMaximumCallCount($method, $count) No
expectMinimumCallCount($method, $count) Yes
expectNever($method) No
expectOnce($method, $args) Yes
expectAtLeastOnce($method, $args) Yes
- Where the parameters are... -

Expectation	Needs tally()
expect($method, $args)	No
expectAt($timing, $method, $args)	No
expectCallCount($method, $count)	Yes
expectMaximumCallCount($method, $count)	No
expectMinimumCallCount($method, $count)	Yes
expectNever($method)	No
expectOnce($method, $args)	Yes
expectAtLeastOnce($method, $args)	Yes

$method: The method name, as a string, to apply the condition to.
$args: - The arguments as a list. Wildcards can be included in the same - manner as for setReturn(). - This argument is optional for expectOnce() - and expectAtLeastOnce(). -
$timing: - The only point in time to test the condition. - The first call starts at zero. -
$count: The number of calls expected.

- The method expectMaximumCallCount() - is slightly different in that it will only ever generate a failure. - It is silent if the limit is never reached. -

- Like the assertions within test cases, all of the expectations - can take a message override as an extra parameter. - Also the original failure message can be embedded in the output - as "%s". -

- -

Other approaches

- -

- There are three approaches to creating mocks including the one - that SimpleTest employs. - Coding them by hand using a base class, generating them to - a file and dynamically generating them on the fly. -

- Mock objects generated with SimpleTest - are dynamic. - They are created at run time in memory, using - eval(), rather than written - out to a file. - This makes the mocks easy to create, a one liner, - especially compared with hand - crafting them in a parallel class hierarchy. - The problem is that the behaviour is usually set up in the tests - themselves. - If the original objects change the mock versions - that the tests rely on can get out of sync. - This can happen with the parallel hierarchy approach as well, - but is far more quickly detected. -

- The solution, of course, is to add some real integration - tests. - You don't need very many and the convenience gained - from the mocks more than outweighs the small amount of - extra testing. - You cannot trust code that was only tested with mocks. -

- If you are still determined to build static libraries of mocks - because you want to simulate very specific behaviour, you can - achieve the same effect using the SimpleTest class generator. - In your library file, say mocks/connection.php for a - database connection, create a mock and inherit to override - special methods or add presets... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/mock_objects.php');
-    require_once('../classes/connection.php');
-
-    Mock::generate('Connection', 'BasicMockConnection');
-    class MockConnection extends BasicMockConnection {
-        function MockConnection() {
-            $this->BasicMockConnection();
-            $this->setReturn('query', false);
-        }
-    }
-?>
-

- The generate call tells the class generator to create - a class called BasicMockConnection - rather than the usual MockConnection. - We then inherit from this to get our version of - MockConnection. - By intercepting in this way we can add behaviour, here setting - the default value of query() to be false. - By using the default name we make sure that the mock class - generator will not recreate a different one when invoked elsewhere in the - tests. - It never creates a class if it already exists. - As long as the above file is included first then all tests - that generated MockConnection should - now be using our one instead. - If we don't get the order right and the mock library - creates one first then the class creation will simply fail. -

- Use this trick if you find you have a lot of common mock behaviour - or you are getting frequent integration problems at later - stages of testing. -

Overview of SimpleTest

- -

What is SimpleTest?

- -

- The heart of SimpleTest is a testing framework built around - test case classes. - These are written as extensions of base test case classes, - each extended with methods that actually contain test code. - Top level test scripts then invoke the run() - methods on every one of these test cases in order. - Each test method is written to invoke various assertions that - the developer expects to be true such as - assertEqual(). - If the expectation is correct, then a successful result is dispatched to the - observing test reporter, but any failure triggers an alert - and a description of the mismatch. -

- A test case looks like this... -

-<?php
-class MyTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testLog() {
-        $log = &new Log('my.log');
-        $log->message('Hello');
-        $this->assertTrue(file_exists('my.log'));
-    }
-}
-?>
-

- These tools are designed for the developer. - Tests are written in the PHP language itself more or less - as the application itself is built. - The advantage of using PHP itself as the testing language is that - there are no new languages to learn, testing can start straight away, - and the developer can test any part of the code. - Basically, all parts that can be accessed by the application code can also be - accessed by the test code if they are in the same language. -

- The simplest type of test case is the - UnitTestCase. - This class of test case includes standard tests for equality, - references and pattern matching. - All these test the typical expectations of what you would - expect the result of a function or method to be. - This is by far the most common type of test in the daily - routine of development, making up about 95% of test cases. -

- The top level task of a web application though is not to - produce correct output from its methods and objects, but - to generate web pages. - The WebTestCase class tests web - pages. - It simulates a web browser requesting a page, complete with - cookies, proxies, secure connections, authentication, forms, frames and most - navigation elements. - With this type of test case, the developer can assert that - information is present in the page and that forms and - sessions are handled correctly. -

- A WebTestCase looks like this... -

-<?php
-class MySiteTest extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function testHomePage() {
-        $this->get('http://www.my-site.com/index.php');
-        $this->assertTitle('My Home Page');

Web resources for testing

- -

- Process is at least as important as tools. - The type of process that makes the heaviest use of a developer's - testing tool is of course - Extreme Programming. - This is one of the - Agile Methodologies - which combine various practices to "flatten the cost curve" of software development. - More extreme still is Test Driven Development, - where you very strictly adhere to the rule of no coding until you have a test. - If you're more of a planner or believe that experience trumps evolution, - you may prefer the - RUP approach. - I haven't tried it, but even I can see that you will need test tools (see figure 9). -

- Most unit testers clone JUnit to some degree, - as far as the interface at least. There is a wealth of information on the - JUnit site including the - FAQ - which contains plenty of general advice on testing. - Once you get bitten by the bug you will certainly appreciate the phrase - test infected - coined by Eric Gamma. - If you are still reviewing which unit tester to use the main choices - are PHPUnit - and Pear PHP::PHPUnit. - They currently lack a lot of features found in - SimpleTest, but the PEAR - version at least has been upgraded for PHP5 and is recommended if you are porting - existing JUnit test cases. -

- There is currently a sad lack of material on mock objects, which is a shame - as unit testing without them is a lot more work. - The original mock objects paper - is very Java focused, but still worth a read. - As a new technology there are plenty of discussions and debate on how to use mocks, - often on Wikis such as - Extreme Tuesday - or www.mockobjects.com - or the original C2 Wiki. - Injecting mocks into a class is the main area of debate for which this - paper on IBM - makes a good starting point. -

- There are plenty of web testing tools, but the scriptable ones - are mostly are written in Java and - tutorials and advice are rather thin on the ground. - The only hope is to look at the documentation for - HTTPUnit, - HTMLUnit - or JWebUnit and hope for clues. - There are some XML driven test frameworks, but again most - require Java to run. -

- A new generation of tools that run directly in the web browser - are now available. - These include - Selenium and - Watir. - As SimpleTest does not support JavaScript you would probably - have to look at these tools anyway if you have highly dynamic - pages. -

Partial mock objects documentation

- -

- A partial mock is simply a pattern to alleviate a specific problem - in testing with mock objects, - that of getting mock objects into tight corners. - It's quite a limited tool and possibly not even a good idea. - It is included with SimpleTest because I have found it useful - on more than one occasion and has saved a lot of work at that point. -

- -

The mock injection problem

- -

- When one object uses another it is very simple to just pass a mock - version in already set up with its expectations. - Things are rather tricker if one object creates another and the - creator is the one you want to test. - This means that the created object should be mocked, but we can - hardly tell our class under test to create a mock instead. - The tested class doesn't even know it is running inside a test - after all. -

- For example, suppose we are building a telnet client and it - needs to create a network socket to pass its messages. - The connection method might look something like... -

-<?php
-    require_once('socket.php');
-    
-    class Telnet {
-        ...
-        function &connect($ip, $port, $username, $password) {
-            $socket = &new Socket($ip, $port);
-            $socket->read( ... );
-            ...
-        }
-    }
-?>
-

- We would really like to have a mock object version of the socket - here, what can we do? -

- The first solution is to pass the socket in as a parameter, - forcing the creation up a level. - Having the client handle this is actually a very good approach - if you can manage it and should lead to factoring the creation from - the doing. - In fact, this is one way in which testing with mock objects actually - forces you to code more tightly focused solutions. - They improve your programming. -

- Here this would be... -

-<?php
-    require_once('socket.php');
-    
-    class Telnet {
-        ...
-        function &connect(&$socket, $username, $password) {
-            $socket->read( ... );
-            ...
-        }
-    }
-?>
-

- This means that the test code is typical for a test involving - mock objects. -

-class TelnetTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnection() {
-        $socket = &new MockSocket($this);
-        ...
-        $telnet = &new Telnet();
-        $telnet->connect($socket, 'Me', 'Secret');
-        ...
-    }
-}
-

- It is pretty obvious though that one level is all you can go. - You would hardly want your top level application creating - every low level file, socket and database connection ever - needed. - It wouldn't know the constructor parameters anyway. -

- The next simplest compromise is to have the created object passed - in as an optional parameter... -

-<?php
-    require_once('socket.php');
-    
-    class Telnet {
-        ...
-        function &connect($ip, $port, $username, $password, $socket = false) {
-            if (!$socket) {
-                $socket = &new Socket($ip, $port);
-            }
-            $socket->read( ... );
-            ...
-            return $socket;
-        }
-    }
-?>
-

- For a quick solution this is usually good enough. - The test now looks almost the same as if the parameter - was formally passed... -

-class TelnetTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnection() {
-        $socket = &new MockSocket($this);
-        ...
-        $telnet = &new Telnet();
-        $telnet->connect('127.0.0.1', 21, 'Me', 'Secret', &$socket);
-        ...
-    }
-}
-

- The problem with this approach is its untidiness. - There is test code in the main class and parameters passed - in the test case that are never used. - This is a quick and dirty approach, but nevertheless effective - in most situations. -

- The next method is to pass in a factory object to do the creation... -

-<?php
-    require_once('socket.php');
-    
-    class Telnet {
-        function Telnet(&$network) {
-            $this->_network = &$network;
-        }
-        ...
-        function &connect($ip, $port, $username, $password) {
-            $socket = &$this->_network->createSocket($ip, $port);
-            $socket->read( ... );
-            ...
-            return $socket;
-        }
-    }
-?>
-

- This is probably the most highly factored answer as creation - is now moved into a small specialist class. - The networking factory can now be tested separately, but mocked - easily when we are testing the telnet class... -

-class TelnetTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnection() {
-        $socket = &new MockSocket($this);
-        ...
-        $network = &new MockNetwork($this);
-        $network->setReturnReference('createSocket', $socket);
-        $telnet = &new Telnet($network);
-        $telnet->connect('127.0.0.1', 21, 'Me', 'Secret');
-        ...
-    }
-}
-

- The downside is that we are adding a lot more classes to the - library. - Also we are passing a lot of factories around which will - make the code a little less intuitive. - The most flexible solution, but the most complex. -

- Is there a middle ground? -

- -

Protected factory method

- -

- There is a way we can circumvent the problem without creating - any new application classes, but it involves creating a subclass - when we do the actual testing. - Firstly we move the socket creation into its own method... -

-<?php
-    require_once('socket.php');
-    
-    class Telnet {
-        ...
-        function &connect($ip, $port, $username, $password) {
-            $socket = &$this->_createSocket($ip, $port);
-            $socket->read( ... );
-            ...
-        }
-        
-        function &_createSocket($ip, $port) {
-            return new Socket($ip, $port);
-        }
-    }
-?>
-

- This is the only change we make to the application code. -

- For the test case we have to create a subclass so that - we can intercept the socket creation... -

-class TelnetTestVersion extends Telnet {
-    var $_mock;
-    
-    function TelnetTestVersion(&$mock) {
-        $this->_mock = &$mock;
-        $this->Telnet();
-    }
-    
-    function &_createSocket() {
-        return $this->_mock;
-    }
-}
-

- Here I have passed the mock in the constructor, but a - setter would have done just as well. - Note that the mock was set into the object variable - before the constructor was chained. - This is necessary in case the constructor calls - connect(). - Otherwise it could get a null value from - _createSocket(). -

- After the completion of all of this extra work the - actual test case is fairly easy. - We just test our new class instead... -

-class TelnetTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnection() {
-        $socket = &new MockSocket($this);
-        ...
-        $telnet = &new TelnetTestVersion($socket);
-        $telnet->connect('127.0.0.1', 21, 'Me', 'Secret');
-        ...
-    }
-}
-

- The new class is very simple of course. - It just sets up a return value, rather like a mock. - It would be nice if it also checked the incoming parameters - as well. - Just like a mock. - It seems we are likely to do this often, can - we automate the subclass creation? -

- -

A partial mock

- -

- Of course the answer is "yes" or I would have stopped writing - this by now! - The previous test case was a lot of work, but we can - generate the subclass using a similar approach to the mock objects. -

- Here is the partial mock version of the test... -

-Mock::generatePartial(
-        'Telnet',
-        'TelnetTestVersion',
-        array('_createSocket'));
-
-class TelnetTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnection() {
-        $socket = &new MockSocket($this);
-        ...
-        $telnet = &new TelnetTestVersion($this);
-        $telnet->setReturnReference('_createSocket', $socket);
-        $telnet->Telnet();
-        $telnet->connect('127.0.0.1', 21, 'Me', 'Secret');
-        ...
-    }
-}
-

- The partial mock is a subclass of the original with - selected methods "knocked out" with test - versions. - The generatePartial() call - takes three parameters: the class to be subclassed, - the new test class name and a list of methods to mock. -

- Instantiating the resulting objects is slightly tricky. - The only constructor parameter of a partial mock is - the unit tester reference. - As with the normal mock objects this is needed for sending - test results in response to checked expectations. -

- The original constructor is not run yet. - This is necessary in case the constructor is going to - make use of the as yet unset mocked methods. - We set any return values at this point and then run the - constructor with its normal parameters. - This three step construction of "new", followed - by setting up the methods, followed by running the constructor - proper is what distinguishes the partial mock code. -

- Apart from construction, all of the mocked methods have - the same features as mock objects and all of the unmocked - methods behave as before. - We can set expectations very easily... -

-class TelnetTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testConnection() {
-        $socket = &new MockSocket($this);
-        ...
-        $telnet = &new TelnetTestVersion($this);
-        $telnet->setReturnReference('_createSocket', $socket);
-        $telnet->expectOnce('_createSocket', array('127.0.0.1', 21));
-        $telnet->Telnet();
-        $telnet->connect('127.0.0.1', 21, 'Me', 'Secret');
-        ...
-        $telnet->tally();
-    }
-}
-

- -

Testing less than a class

- -

- The mocked out methods don't have to be factory methods, - they could be any sort of method. - In this way partial mocks allow us to take control of any part of - a class except the constructor. - We could even go as far as to mock every method - except one we actually want to test. -

- This last situation is all rather hypothetical, as I haven't - tried it. - I am open to the possibility, but a little worried that - forcing object granularity may be better for the code quality. - I personally use partial mocks as a way of overriding creation - or for occasional testing of the TemplateMethod pattern. -

- It's all going to come down to the coding standards of your - project to decide which mechanism you use. -

Test reporter documentation

- -

- SimpleTest pretty much follows the MVC pattern - (Model-View-Controller). - The reporter classes are the view and the model is your - test cases and their hiearchy. - The controller is mostly hidden from the user of - SimpleTest unless you want to change how the test cases - are actually run, in which case it is possible to - override the runner objects from within the test case. - As usual with MVC, the controller is mostly undefined - and there are other places to control the test run. -

- -

Reporting results in HTML

- -

- The default test display is minimal in the extreme. - It reports success and failure with the conventional red and - green bars and shows a breadcrumb trail of test groups - for every failed assertion. - Here's a fail... -

File test

- Fail: createnewfile->True assertion failed.
-

1/1 test cases complete. - 0 passes, 1 fails and 0 exceptions.

- And here all tests passed... -

File test

1/1 test cases complete. - 1 passes, 0 fails and 0 exceptions.

- The good news is that there are several points in the display - hiearchy for subclassing. -

- For web page based displays there is the - HtmlReporter class with the following - signature... -

-class HtmlReporter extends SimpleReporter {
-    public HtmlReporter($encoding) { ... }
-    public makeDry(boolean $is_dry) { ... }
-    public void paintHeader(string $test_name) { ... }

-    public void paintGroupEnd(string $test_name) { ... }
-    public void paintCaseStart(string $test_name) { ... }

-    public integer getFailCount() { ... }
-    public integer getExceptionCount() { ... }
-    public integer getTestCaseCount() { ... }
-    public integer getTestCaseProgress() { ... }
-}
-

- Here is what some of these methods mean. First the display methods - that you will probably want to override... -

- HtmlReporter(string $encoding) -
- is the constructor. - Note that the unit test sets up the link to the display - rather than the other way around. - The display is a mostly passive receiver of test events. - This allows easy adaption of the display for other test - systems beside unit tests, such as monitoring servers. - The encoding is the character encoding you wish to - display the test output in. - In order to correctly render debug output when - using the web tester, this should match the encoding - of the site you are trying to test. - The available character set strings are described in - the PHP html_entities() - function. -
- void paintHeader(string $test_name) -
- is called once at the very start of the test when the first - start event arrives. - The first start event is usually delivered by the top level group - test and so this is where $test_name - comes from. - It paints the page titles, CSS, body tag, etc. - It returns nothing (void). -
- void paintFooter(string $test_name) -
- Called at the very end of the test to close any tags opened - by the page header. - By default it also displays the red/green bar and the final - count of results. - Actually the end of the test happens when a test end event - comes in with the same name as the one that started it all - at the same level. - The tests nest you see. - Closing the last test finishes the display. -
- void paintMethodStart(string $test_name) -
- is called at the start of each test method. - The name normally comes from method name. - The other test start events behave the same way except - that the group test one tells the reporter how large - it is in number of held test cases. - This is so that the reporter can display a progress bar - as the runner churns through the test cases. -
- void paintMethodEnd(string $test_name) -
- backs out of the test started with the same name. -
- void paintFail(string $message) -
- paints a failure. - By default it just displays the word fail, a breadcrumbs trail - showing the current test nesting and the message issued by - the assertion. -
- void paintPass(string $message) -
- by default does nothing. -
- string _getCss() -
- Returns the CSS styles as a string for the page header - method. - Additional styles have to be appended here if you are - not overriding the page header. - You will want to use this method in an overriden page header - if you want to include the original CSS. -

- There are also some accessors to get information on the current - state of the test suite. - Use these to enrich the display... -

- array getTestList() -
- is the first convenience method for subclasses. - Lists the current nesting of the tests as a list - of test names. - The first, most deeply nested test, is first in the - list and the current test method will be last. -
- integer getPassCount() -
- returns the number of passes chalked up so far. - Needed for the display at the end. -
- integer getFailCount() -
- is likewise the number of fails so far. -
- integer getExceptionCount() -
- is likewise the number of errors so far. -
- integer getTestCaseCount() -
- is the total number of test cases in the test run. - This includes the grouping tests themselves. -
- integer getTestCaseProgress() -
- is the number of test cases completed so far. -

- One simple modification is to get the HtmlReporter to display - the passes as well as the failures and errors... -

-class ShowPasses extends HtmlReporter {
-    
-    function paintPass($message) {
-        parent::paintPass($message);
-        print "&<span class=\"pass\">Pass</span>: ";
-        $breadcrumb = $this->getTestList();
-        array_shift($breadcrumb);
-        print implode("-&gt;", $breadcrumb);
-        print "-&gt;$message<br />\n";
-    }
-    
-    function _getCss() {
-        return parent::_getCss() . ' .pass { color: green; }';
-    }
-}
-

- One method that was glossed over was the makeDry() - method. - If you run this method, with no parameters, on the reporter - before the test suite is run no actual test methods - will be called. - You will still get the events of entering and leaving the - test methods and test cases, but no passes or failures etc, - because the test code will not actually be executed. -

- The reason for this is to allow for more sophistcated - GUI displays that allow the selection of individual test - cases. - In order to build a list of possible tests they need a - report on the test structure for drawing, say a tree view - of the test suite. - With a reporter set to dry run that just sends drawing events - this is easily accomplished. -

- -

Extending the reporter

- -

- Rather than simply modifying the existing display, you might want to - produce a whole new HTML look, or even generate text or XML. - Rather than override every method in - HtmlReporter we can take one - step up the class hiearchy to SimpleReporter - in the simple_test.php source file. -

- A do nothing display, a blank canvas for your own creation, would - be... -

-require_once('simpletest/simple_test.php');
-
-class MyDisplay extends SimpleReporter {
-    
-    function paintHeader($test_name) {
-    }
-    
-    function paintFooter($test_name) {
-    }
-    
-    function paintStart($test_name, $size) {
-        parent::paintStart($test_name, $size);
-    }
-    
-    function paintEnd($test_name, $size) {
-        parent::paintEnd($test_name, $size);
-    }
-    
-    function paintPass($message) {
-        parent::paintPass($message);
-    }
-    
-    function paintFail($message) {
-        parent::paintFail($message);
-    }
-}
-

- No output would come from this class until you add it. -

- -

The command line reporter

- -

- SimpleTest also ships with a minimal command line reporter. - The interface mimics JUnit to some extent, but paints the - failure messages as they arrive. - To use the command line reporter simply substitute it - for the HTML version... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('File test');
-    $test->addTestFile('tests/file_test.php');
-    $test->run(new TextReporter());
-?>
-

- Then invoke the test suite from the command line... -

-php file_test.php
-

- You will need the command line version of PHP installed - of course. - A passing test suite looks like this... -

-File test
-OK
-Test cases run: 1/1, Failures: 0, Exceptions: 0
-

- A failure triggers a display like this... -

-File test
-1) True assertion failed.
-	in createnewfile
-FAILURES!!!
-Test cases run: 1/1, Failures: 1, Exceptions: 0
-

- One of the main reasons for using a command line driven - test suite is of using the tester as part of some automated - process. - To function properly in shell scripts the test script should - return a non-zero exit code on failure. - If a test suite fails the value false - is returned from the SimpleTest::run() - method. - We can use that result to exit the script with the desired return - code... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('File test');
-    $test->addTestFile('tests/file_test.php');
-    exit ($test->run(new TextReporter()) ? 0 : 1);
-?>
-

- Of course we don't really want to create two test scripts, - a command line one and a web browser one, for each test suite. - The command line reporter includes a method to sniff out the - run time environment... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-
-    $test = &new GroupTest('File test');
-    $test->addTestFile('tests/file_test.php');
-    if (TextReporter::inCli()) {
-        exit ($test->run(new TextReporter()) ? 0 : 1);
-    }
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- This is the form used within SimpleTest itself. -

- -

Remote testing

- -

- SimpleTest ships with an XmlReporter class - used for internal communication. - When run the output looks like... -

-<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<run>
-  <group size="4">
-    <name>Remote tests</name>
-    <group size="4">
-      <name>Visual test with 48 passes, 48 fails and 4 exceptions</name>
-      <case>
-        <name>testofunittestcaseoutput</name>
-        <test>
-          <name>testofresults</name>
-          <pass>This assertion passed</pass>
-          <fail>This assertion failed</fail>
-        </test>
-        <test>
-          ...
-        </test>
-      </case>
-    </group>
-  </group>
-</run>
-

- You can make use of this format with the parser - supplied as part of SimpleTest itself. - This is called SimpleTestXmlParser and - resides in xml.php within the SimpleTest package... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/xml.php');
-    
-    ...
-    $parser = &new SimpleTestXmlParser(new HtmlReporter());
-    $parser->parse($test_output);
-?>
-

- The $test_output should be the XML format - from the XML reporter, and could come from say a command - line run of a test case. - The parser sends events to the reporter just like any - other test run. - There are some odd occasions where this is actually useful. -

- A problem with large test suites is thet they can exhaust - the default 8Mb memory limit on a PHP process. - By having the test groups output in XML and run in - separate processes, the output can be reparsed to - aggregate the results into a much smaller footprint top level - test. -

- Because the XML output can come from anywhere, this opens - up the possibility of aggregating test runs from remote - servers. - A test case already exists to do this within the SimpleTest - framework, but it is currently experimental... -

-<?php
-    require_once('../remote.php');
-    require_once('../reporter.php');
-    
-    $test_url = ...;
-    $dry_url = ...;
-    
-    $test = &new GroupTest('Remote tests');
-    $test->addTestCase(new RemoteTestCase($test_url, $dry_url));
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- The RemoteTestCase takes the actual location - of the test runner, basically a web page in XML format. - It also takes the URL of a reporter set to do a dry run. - This is so that progress can be reported upward correctly. - The RemoteTestCase can be added to test suites - just like any other group test. -

Server stubs documentation

- -

What are server stubs?

- -

- This was originally a pattern named by Robert Binder (Testing - object-oriented systems: models, patterns, and tools, - Addison-Wesley) in 1999. - A server stub is a simulation of an object or component. - It should exactly replace a component in a system for test - or prototyping purposes, but remain lightweight. - This allows tests to run more quickly, or if the simulated - class has not been written, to run at all. -

- -

Creating server stubs

- -

- All we need is an existing class, say a database connection - that looks like this... -

-class DatabaseConnection {
-    function DatabaseConnection() {
-    }
-    
-    function query() {
-    }
-    
-    function selectQuery() {
-    }
-}
-

- The class does not need to have been implemented yet. - To create a stub version of the class we need to include the - server stub library and run the generator... -

-require_once('simpletest/mock_objects.php');
-require_once('database_connection.php');
-Stub::generate('DatabaseConnection');
-

- This generates a clone class called - StubDatabaseConnection. - We can now create instances of the new class within - our prototype script... -

-require_once('simpletest/mock_objects.php');
-require_once('database_connection.php');
-Stub::generate('DatabaseConnection');
-
-$connection = new StubDatabaseConnection();
-
-

- The stub version of a class has all the methods of the original - so that operations like - $connection->query() are still - legal. - The return value will be null, - but we can change that with... -

-$connection->setReturnValue('query', 37)
-

- -

Simulation patterns

- -

-class Iterator {
-    function Iterator() {
-    }
-    
-    function next() {
-    }
-}
-

- This is about the simplest iterator you could have. - Assuming that this iterator only returns text until it - reaches the end, when it returns false, we can simulate it - with... -

-Stub::generate('Iterator');
-
-$iterator = new StubIterator();
-$iterator->setReturnValue('next', false);
-$iterator->setReturnValueAt(0, 'next', 'First string');
-$iterator->setReturnValueAt(1, 'next', 'Second string');
-

- When next() is called on the - stub iterator it will first return "First string", - on the second call "Second string" will be returned - and on any other call false will - be returned. - The sequenced return values take precedence over the constant - return value. - The constant one is a kind of default if you like. -

- Another tricky situation is an overloaded - get() operation. - An example of this is an information holder with name/value pairs. - Say we have a configuration class like... -

-class Configuration {
-    function Configuration() {
-    }
-    
-    function getValue($key) {
-    }
-}
-

- This is a classic situation for using stub objects as - actual configuration will vary from machine to machine, - hardly helping the reliability of our tests if we use it - directly. - The problem though is that all the data comes through the - getValue() method and yet - we want different results for different keys. - Luckily the stubs have a filter system... -

-Stub::generate('Configuration');
-
-$config = &new StubConfiguration();
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', 'primary', array('db_host'));
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', 'admin', array('db_user'));
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', 'secret', array('db_password'));
-

- The extra parameter is a list of arguments to attempt - to match. - In this case we are trying to match only one argument which - is the look up key. - Now when the server stub has the - getValue() method invoked - like this... -

-$config->getValue('db_user');
-

- ...it will return "admin". - It finds this by attempting to match the calling arguments - to its list of returns one after another until - a complete match is found. -

- You can set a default argument argument like so... -

-
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', false, array('*'));
-

- This is not the same as setting the return value without - any argument requirements like this... -

-
-$config->setReturnValue('getValue', false);
-

- There are times when you want a specific object to be - dished out by the stub rather than just a copy. - The PHP copy semantics force us to use a different method - for this. - You might be simulating a container for example... -

-class Thing {
-}
-
-class Vector {
-    function Vector() {
-    }
-    
-    function get($index) {
-    }
-}
-

- In this case you can set a reference into the stub's - return list... -

-Stub::generate('Vector');
-
-$thing = new Thing();
-$vector = &new StubVector();
-$vector->setReturnReference('get', $thing, array(12));
-

- With this arrangement you know that every time - $vector->get(12) is - called it will return the same - $thing each time. -

- These three factors, timing, parameters and whether to copy, - can be combined orthogonally. - For example... -

-$complex = &new StubComplexThing();
-$stuff = new Stuff();
-$complex->setReturnReferenceAt(3, 'get', $stuff, array('*', 1));
-

- This will return the $stuff only on the third - call and only if two parameters were set the second of - which must be the integer 1. - That should cover most simple prototyping situations. -

- Here's how... -

-Stub::generate('DatabaseConnection');
-Stub::generate('ResultIterator');
-
-class DatabaseTest extends UnitTestCase {
-    
-    function testUserFinder() {
-        $result = &new StubResultIterator();
-        $result->setReturnValue('next', false);
-        $result->setReturnValueAt(0, 'next', array(1, 'tom'));
-        $result->setReturnValueAt(1, 'next', array(3, 'dick'));
-        $result->setReturnValueAt(2, 'next', array(6, 'harry'));
-        
-        $connection = &new StubDatabaseConnection();
-        $connection->setReturnValue('query', false);
-        $connection->setReturnReference(
-                'query',
-                $result,
-                array('select id, name from users'));
-                
-        $finder = &new UserFinder($connection);
-        $this->assertIdentical(
-                $finder->findNames(),
-                array('tom', 'dick', 'harry'));
-    }
-}
-

- -

Stub creation options

- -

- There are some additional options when creating stubs. - At the generation stage we can change the class name... -

-Stub::generate('Iterator', 'MyStubIterator');
-$iterator = &new MyStubIterator();
-
-

- This is not very useful in itself as there would be no difference - in this class and the default except for the name. - However we can also add additional methods not found in the - original interface... -

-class Iterator {
-}
-Stub::generate('Iterator', 'PrototypeIterator', array('next', 'isError'));
-$iterator = &new PrototypeIterator();
-$iterator->setReturnValue('next', 0);
-
-

- The next() and - isError() methods can now have - return values set just as if they existed in the original class. -

- One other esoteric way of customising the stubs is to change - the default wildcard used for parameter matching. -

-Stub::generate('Connection');
-$iterator = &new StubConnection('wild');
-$iterator->setReturnValue('query', array('id' => 33), array('wild'));
-
-

- The only reason to do this is if you genuinely wanted to test - against the literal string "*" and didn't want it - interpreted as "any". -

PHP Unit Test documentation

- -

Unit test cases

- -

- The core system is a regression testing framework built around - test cases. - A sample test case looks like this... -

-class FileTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
-}
-

- If no test name is supplied when chaining the constructor then - the class name will be taken instead. - This will be the name displayed in the test results. -

- Actual tests are added as methods in the test case whose names - by default start with the string "test" and - when the test case is invoked all such methods are run in - the order that PHP introspection finds them. - As many test methods can be added as needed. - For example... -

-require_once('../classes/writer.php');
-
-class FileTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
-    function FileTestCase() {
-        $this->UnitTestCase('File test');
-    }
-    
-    function setUp() {
-        @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
-    }
-    
-    function tearDown() {
-        @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
-    }
-    
-    function testCreation() {
-        $writer = &new FileWriter('../temp/test.txt');
-        $writer->write('Hello');
-        $this->assertTrue(file_exists('../temp/test.txt'), 'File created');
-    }
-}
-

- The constructor is optional and usually omitted. - Without a name, the class name is taken as the name of the test case. -

- Our only test method at the moment is testCreation() - where we check that a file has been created by our - Writer object. - We could have put the unlink() - code into this method as well, but by placing it in - setUp() and - tearDown() we can use it with - other test methods that we add. -

- The setUp() method is run - just before each and every test method. - tearDown() is run just after - each and every test method. -

- You can place some test case set up into the constructor to - be run once for all the methods in the test case, but - you risk test inteference that way. - This way is slightly slower, but it is safer. - Note that if you come from a JUnit background this will not - be the behaviour you are used to. - JUnit surprisingly reinstantiates the test case for each test - method to prevent such interference. - SimpleTest requires the end user to use setUp(), but - supplies additional hooks for library writers. -

- The means of reporting test results (see below) are by a - visiting display class - that is notified by various assert...() - methods. - Here is the full list for the UnitTestCase - class, the default for SimpleTest... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
assertTrue($x) Fail if $x is false
assertFalse($x) Fail if $x is true
assertNull($x) Fail if $x is set
assertNotNull($x) Fail if $x not set
assertIsA($x, $t) Fail if $x is not the class or type $t
assertNotA($x, $t) Fail if $x is of the class or type $t
assertEqual($x, $y) Fail if $x == $y is false
assertNotEqual($x, $y) Fail if $x == $y is true
assertWithinMargin($x, $y, $m) Fail if abs($x - $y) < $m is false
assertOutsideMargin($x, $y, $m) Fail if abs($x - $y) < $m is true
assertIdentical($x, $y) Fail if $x == $y is false or a type mismatch
assertNotIdentical($x, $y) Fail if $x == $y is true and types match
assertReference($x, $y) Fail unless $x and $y are the same variable
assertCopy($x, $y) Fail if $x and $y are the same variable
assertPattern($p, $x) Fail unless the regex $p matches $x
assertNoPattern($p, $x) Fail if the regex $p matches $x
assertNoErrors() Fail if any PHP error occoured
assertError($x) Fail if no PHP error or incorrect message/expectation
assertExpectation($e) Fail on failed expectation object
- All assertion methods can take an optional description to - label the displayed result with. - If omitted a default message is sent instead which is usually - sufficient. - This default message can still be embedded in your own message - if you include "%s" within the string. - All the assertions return true on a pass or false on failure. -

- Some examples... -

-$variable = null;
-$this->assertNull($variable, 'Should be cleared');
-

- ...will pass and normally show no message. - If you have - set up the tester to display passes - as well then the message will be displayed as is. -

-$this->assertIdentical(0, false, 'Zero is not false [%s]');
-

- This will fail as it performs a type - check as well as a comparison between the two values. - The "%s" part is replaced by the default - error message that would have been shown if we had not - supplied our own. - This also allows us to nest test messages. -

-$a = 1;
-$b = $a;
-$this->assertReference($a, $b);
-

- Will fail as the variable $a is a copy of $b. -

-$this->assertPattern('/hello/i', 'Hello world');
-

- This will pass as using a case insensitive match the string - hello is contained in Hello world. -

-trigger_error('Disaster');
-trigger_error('Catastrophe');
-$this->assertError();
-$this->assertError('Catastrophe');
-$this->assertNoErrors();
-

- This one takes some explanation as in fact they all pass! -

- PHP errors in SimpleTest are trapped and placed in a queue. - Here the first error check catches the "Disaster" - message without checking the text and passes. - This removes the error from the queue. - The next error check tests not only the existence of the error, - but also the text which here matches so another pass. - With the queue now empty the last test will pass as well. - If any unchecked errors are left at the end of a test method then - an exception will be reported in the test. - Note that SimpleTest cannot catch compile time PHP errors. -

- The test cases also have some convenience methods for debugging - code or extending the suite... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
setUp() Runs this before each test method
tearDown() Runs this after each test method
pass() Sends a test pass
fail() Sends a test failure
error() Sends an exception event
sendMessage() Sends a status message to those displays that support it
signal($type, $payload) Sends a user defined message to the test reporter
dump($var) Does a formatted print_r() for quick and dirty debugging
swallowErrors() Clears the error queue
-

- -

Extending test cases

- -

- Of course additional test methods can be added to create - specific types of test case too so as to extend framework... -

-require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-
-class FileTester extends UnitTestCase {
-    function FileTester($name = false) {
-        $this->UnitTestCase($name);
-    }
-    
-    function assertFileExists($filename, $message = '%s') {
-        $this->assertTrue(
-                file_exists($filename),
-                sprintf($message, 'File [$filename] existence check'));
-    }
-}
-

- Here the SimpleTest library is held in a folder called - simpletest that is local. - Substitute your own path for this. -

- This new case can be now be inherited just like - a normal test case... -

-class FileTestCase extends FileTester {
-    
-    function setUp() {
-        @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
-    }
-    
-    function tearDown() {
-        @unlink('../temp/test.txt');
-    }
-    
-    function testCreation() {
-        $writer = &new FileWriter('../temp/test.txt');
-        $writer->write('Hello');
-        $this->assertFileExists('../temp/test.txt');
-    }
-}
-

- If you want a test case that does not have all of the - UnitTestCase assertions, - only your own and assertTrue(), - you need to extend the SimpleTestCase - class instead. - It is found in simple_test.php rather than - unit_tester.php. - See later if you - want to incorporate other unit tester's - test cases in your test suites. -

- -

Running a single test case

- -

- You won't often run single test cases except when bashing - away at a module that is having difficulty and you don't - want to upset the main test suite. - Here is the scaffolding needed to run the a lone test case... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/unit_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-    require_once('../classes/writer.php');
-
-    class FileTestCase extends UnitTestCase {
-        function FileTestCase() {
-            $this->UnitTestCase('File test');
-        }
-    }
-    
-    $test = &new FileTestCase();
-    $test->run(new HtmlReporter());
-?>
-

- This script will run as is, but will output zero passes - and zero failures until test methods are added. -

Web tester documentation

- -

Fetching a page

- -

- Testing classes is all very well, but PHP is predominately - a language for creating functionality within web pages. - How do we test the front end presentation role of our PHP - applications? - Well the web pages are just text, so we should be able to - examine them just like any other test data. -

- This leads to a tricky issue. - If we test at too low a level, testing for matching tags - in the page with pattern matching for example, our tests will - be brittle. - The slightest change in layout could break a large number of - tests. - If we test at too high a level, say using mock versions of a - template engine, then we lose the ability to automate some classes - of test. - For example, the interaction of forms and navigation will - have to be tested manually. - These types of test are extremely repetitive and error prone. -

- SimpleTest includes a special form of test case for the testing - of web page actions. - The WebTestCase includes facilities - for navigation, content and cookie checks and form handling. - Usage of these test cases is similar to the - UnitTestCase... -

-class TestOfLastcraft extends WebTestCase {
-}
-

- Here we are about to test the - Last Craft site itself. - If this test case is in a file called lastcraft_test.php - then it can be loaded in a runner script just like unit tests... -

-<?php
-    require_once('simpletest/web_tester.php');
-    require_once('simpletest/reporter.php');
-    
-    $test = &new GroupTest('Web site tests');
-    $test->addTestFile('lastcraft_test.php');
-    exit ($test->run(new TextReporter()) ? 0 : 1);
-?>
-

- I am using the text reporter here to more clearly - distinguish the web content from the test output. -

- Nothing is being tested yet. - We can fetch the home page by using the - get() method... -

-class TestOfLastcraft extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function testHomepage() {
-        $this->assertTrue($this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/'));
-    }
-}
-

- The get() method will - return true only if page content was successfully - loaded. - It is a simple, but crude way to check that a web page - was actually delivered by the web server. - However that content may be a 404 response and yet - our get() method will still return true. -

- Assuming that the web server for the Last Craft site is up - (sadly not always the case), we should see... -

-Web site tests
-OK
-Test cases run: 1/1, Failures: 0, Exceptions: 0
-

- All we have really checked is that any kind of page was - returned. - We don't yet know if it was the right one. -

- -

Testing page content

- -

- To confirm that the page we think we are on is actually the - page we are on, we need to verify the page content. -

-class TestOfLastcraft extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function testHomepage() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/');
-        $this->assertTest('Why the last craft');
-    }
-}
-

- The page from the last fetch is held in a buffer in - the test case, so there is no need to refer to it directly. - The pattern match is always made against the buffer. -

- Here is the list of possible content assertions... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
assertTitle($title) Pass if title is an exact match
assertPattern($pattern) A Perl pattern match against the page content
assertNoPattern($pattern) A Perl pattern match to not find content

- As usual with the SimpleTest assertions, they all return - false on failure and true on pass. - They also allow an optional test message and you can embed - the original test message inside using "%s" inside - your custom message. -

- So now we could instead test against the title tag with... -

-$this->assertTitle('The Last Craft? Web developer tutorials on PHP, Extreme programming and Object Oriented development');
-

- ...or, if that is too long and fragile... -

-$this->assertTitle(new PatternExpectation('/The Last Craft/'));
-

- As well as the simple HTML content checks we can check - that the MIME type is in a list of allowed types with... -

-$this->assertMime(array('text/plain', 'text/html'));
-

- More interesting is checking the HTTP response code. - Like the MIME type, we can assert that the response code - is in a list of allowed values... -

-class TestOfLastcraft extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function testRedirects() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/test/redirect.php');
-        $this->assertResponse(200);</strong>
-    }
-}
-

- Here we are checking that the fetch is successful by - allowing only a 200 HTTP response. - This test will pass, but it is not actually correct to do so. - There is no page, instead the server issues a redirect. - The WebTestCase will - automatically follow up to three such redirects. - The tests are more robust this way and we are usually - interested in the interaction with the pages rather - than their delivery. - If the redirects are of interest then this ability must - be disabled... -

-class TestOfLastcraft extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function testHomepage() {
-        $this->setMaximumRedirects(0);
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/test/redirect.php');
-        $this->assertResponse(200);
-    }
-}
-

- The assertion now fails as expected... -

-Web site tests
-1) Expecting response in [200] got [302]
-	in testhomepage
-	in testoflastcraft
-	in lastcraft_test.php
-FAILURES!!!
-Test cases run: 1/1, Failures: 1, Exceptions: 0
-

- We can modify the test to correctly assert redirects with... -

-class TestOfLastcraft extends WebTestCase {
-    
-    function testHomepage() {
-        $this->setMaximumRedirects(0);
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/test/redirect.php');
-        $this->assertResponse(array(301, 302, 303, 307));
-    }
-}
-

- This now passes. -

- -

Navigating a web site

- -

- Users don't often navigate sites by typing in URLs, but by - clicking links and buttons. - Here we confirm that the contact details can be reached - from the home page... -

-class TestOfLastcraft extends WebTestCase {
-    ...
-    function testContact() {
-        $this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/');
-        $this->clickLink('About');
-        $this->assertTitle(new PatternExpectation('/About Last Craft/'));
-    }
-}
-

- The parameter is the text of the link. -

- If the target is a button rather than an anchor tag, then - clickSubmit() can be used - with the button title... -

-$this->clickSubmit('Go!');
-

- If you are not sure or don't care, the usual case, then just - use the click() method... -

-$this->click('Go!');
-

- The list of navigation methods is... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

-

- The parameters in the get(), post() or - head() methods are optional. - The HTTP HEAD fetch does not change the browser context, only loads - cookies. - This can be useful for when an image or stylesheet sets a cookie - for crafty robot blocking. -

- The retry(), back() and - forward() commands work as they would on - your web browser. - They use the history to retry pages. - This can be handy for checking the effect of hitting the - back button on your forms. -

- The frame methods need a little explanation. - By default a framed page is treated just like any other. - Content will be searced for throughout the entire frameset, - so clicking a link will work no matter which frame - the anchor tag is in. - You can override this behaviour by focusing on a single - frame. - If you do that, all searches and actions will apply to that - frame alone, such as authentication and retries. - If a link or button is not in a focused frame then it cannot - be clicked. -

- Testing navigation on fixed pages only tells you when you - have broken an entire script. - For highly dynamic pages, such as for bulletin boards, this can - be crucial for verifying the correctness of the application. - For most applications though, the really tricky logic is usually in - the handling of forms and sessions. - Fortunately SimpleTest includes - tools for testing web forms - as well. -

Modifying the request

- -

- Although SimpleTest does not have the goal of testing networking - problems, it does include some methods to modify and debug - the requests it makes. - Here is another method list... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
getTransportError() The last socket error
showRequest() Dump the outgoing request
showHeaders() Dump the incoming headers
showSource() Dump the raw HTML page content
ignoreFrames() Do not load framesets
setCookie($name, $value) Set a cookie from now on
addHeader($header) Always add this header to the request
setMaximumRedirects($max) Stop after this many redirects
setConnectionTimeout($timeout) Kill the connection after this time between bytes
useProxy($proxy, $name, $password) Make requests via this proxy URL
- These methods are principally for debugging. -
