Learning Plan for Test Driven Development (TDD)

These learning resources primarily focus on Test Driven Development (TDD).

There is an emphasis on learning using PHP, Laravel and PHPUnit.
All these resources are free (at the time of writing)

Hidden dependencies

Sarah Lim, Northwestern University

Update, September 2019: This Gist detailed an early idea which formed the basis for a major research project. For more information, you can read the resulting full paper, which received Best Paper Honorable Mention at UIST 2018. A tool based on this research is now available on Firefox Nightly.

What are hidden dependencies?

Hidden dependencies between CSS properties are a common source of beginner confusion. For instance, a user might write the following code in order to vertically align some text within a <div>:

	<?php

	// Usage:

	// Before
	@if ($errors->has('email'))
	<span>{{ $errors->first('email') }}</span>
	@endif

	// After:

	<?php

	// Helper usage:
	// timeTravel(Carbon::parse('one year ago'), function () {...});

	function timeTravel($target, $callback) {
	Illuminate\Support\Carbon::setTestNow($target);

	return tap($callback(), function () {
	Illuminate\Support\Carbon::setTestNow();

	[user]
	email = [email protected]
	name = John Smith
	[push]
	default = simple
	[alias]
	co = checkout
	ci = commit
	czp = cz && git pu
	st = status

	<?php
