The "Drupal Extension to Behat and Mink" provides some nice Drupal specific step definitions and ways of setting test data up. This post runs through the setup process.

Getting a screenshot and a dump of the HTML of a failed step is invaluable when running tests on a headless "browser" like PhantomJS, and this post will show you how

Writing tests should be easy, but installing and maintaining every single piece needed is nontrivial. Thankfully Docker can provide each piece of the jigsaw: Symfony 3, Behat and PhantomJS.

I use Neovim for all my text editing, and as I'm a web developer I edit a lot of HTML, PHP, CSS and JavaScript. And not only do I have to switch between different programming/markup languages I also have to switch between different environments, ranging from old Drupal 6 sites on Debian squeeze to a Symfony setup on Debian Jessie to ensure that my code works in production.

I have switched from using Vagrant to Docker as my local development environment, and I’m still mentally trying to switch :)
