Learn about how the rise of spec based testing--a recent development from the world of JavaScript--has improved the testing process, and how you can take advantage of it by using Kahlan, a spec based testing framework in PHP. Find out how writing both unit and integration tests in Kahlan can be fun and faster than traditional PHPUnit, all while making your test code easier to review for those familiar with front-end development. Kahlan offers spec testing features like monkey patching, spys, and mocks, all built in out-of-the-box. Enjoy your TDD and BDD workflows like never before.
