Contract Tests in PHP: Proving Every Adapter Honors Its Port
📰 Dev.to · Gabriel Anhaia
Learn how contract tests in PHP ensure adapters honor their ports, preventing issues like Doctrine failures in production
Action Steps
- Write a contract test using PHP to define the expected behavior of an adapter
- Run the contract test against an in-memory fake adapter to ensure it passes
- Run the same contract test against a production adapter like Doctrine to verify consistency
- Configure the test environment to mimic production conditions
- Apply the contract test to other adapters to ensure they honor their ports
