Previously, I wrote about leveraging Dependabot to automate dependency updates for my Drupal projects. Automating dependency updates saves a lot of time.

I have written my first GitHub Action – bluehorndigital/setup-drupal. In my phpstan-drupal and drupal-check projects I have various GitHub Actions workflows that build a Drupal project via Composer.

In client projects, I push for as much testing as possible. In Drupal 8 we finally have PHPUnit, which makes life grand and simpler. We use Kernel tests to run through some basic integration tests using a minimally bootstrapped database. However, we need Behat to cover behavior and functional testing on an existing site for speed and sanity reasons.

I can proudly say that we have been on top of our test coverage in Drupal Commerce. Back in June of 2016 we had removed any trace of Simpletest based tests and moved over to PHPUnit Unit, Kernel, Functional, and FunctionalJavascript tests.
