* A bit of background:
*
* Because this is a project where one of the main goals for me is to learn new techniques, 
* I want to apply event sourcing to this project.
*
* We're modelling  a student association where we want to manage memberships of the association.
* Most members will finish their studies in about 4 - 6 years and if they do not stay active

Mutation Testing in PHP with Humbug

Mutation testing is a technique that measures the quality of a test suite and helps you write more robust code. This is done by making small changes (mutations) to our code, which will break our application, and ensuring that there is at least one test that no longer passes.

This talk introduces the concept of mutation testing. We show that by using mutation testing we can find bugs in code which has a 100% code coverage. We will look at a few open source projects and use the padraic/humbug package to analyze their Mutation Score Indicator. Lastly we look at some of the disadvantages of mutation testing, namely performance and false positives and how to overcome them.

On Service Providers and Laravel's life cycle

In this blog post I talk about Laravel's Service Providers and about its life cycles. In brief, a Laravel application is bootstrapped (started) whenever a webrequest hits index.php in the public folder, or when an artisan command is executed. Tough both the index.php and artisan file work very similarly, I will only talk about index.php. When the index.php file is called it registers the autoloader. After that Laravel's Application is initiated and stored in the $app variable which is used to construct a kernel that manages the input and output of our app. After handling the input by our $kernel it returns a $response object which is send back to our visitor.

Let's rewind a bit, there are four₁ important things that are done in the index.php:

1. The autoloader is registered
2. Laravel's Application class is initiated and stored in $app
3. A kernel is constructed using the $app's Service Container.
