What

The purpose of this bundle is scaffolding :

• unit test skeletons for any class including a mockup generator
• minimal functional tests for controller

How

Unit test for a class named Demo in subdirectory Service

app/console test:generate:class MyBundle:Service/Demo

Testing the DemoController in MyBundle

app/console test:generate:routing MyBundle:Demo

Testing a set of routes of AcmeDemoBundle, filtered by a pattern

app/console test:generate:routing --bundle AcmeDemoBundle _demo

Who

• Coders in the early stage of a project just after creating model
• Coders in a advanced stage of a project just before refactoring if unit tests don't exists (bad)
• Scanning all routes of bundle to check security when unauthenticated user
• Checking if no HTTP/500

Where

Include this bundle in your AppKernel like any other bundles.

Why

Because unit testing are mandatory. You can't live without it. But honestly the creation of an unit testing class for an entity is somewhat dull, specially when many mockups are involved. This is usually the same code, the same start... Unit tests are vital when you are in a team and/or when you need refactoring (and you always need refactoring, unless you can beat Spock on tridimensional chess).

Eventualy, the goal of the bundle is to earn time when you're starting test classes, every test class, but don't expect it'll code in your place. You'll have to fill the gap, move the namespace, delete some tests, add yours, extends some validations...

When

• You have just created your entity with strong assertions and you need to check if validations are OK now and will be OK in the future after any change in the code.
• Your are in a hurry and you need to refactor one or many bundles. Then, you discover that the sub-directory DirtyBundle/Tests/ is empty, you are doomed !

Then, you have 2 choices :

• refactoring without unit testing. This is like playing russian roulette with a machine gun
• use this bundle to rapidily generate some unit testing. Now you have only 2 or 3 bullets in your six shooter.

How much

Don't abuse of this bundle. You should use this only once per entity. It does not make ANY sense to re-create unit testing every time you modifiy your class !
