Unit tests in Drupal: The road to test-driven development
fmizzell

Test-driven development requires short development cycles in which we write tests describing our software and then write the code that will make the tests pass.
Short develoment cycles require fast tests, and unit tests are the fastest in our arsenal.
Unit tests in Drupal might seem like an impossibility, given that most of our code lives inside the world that Drupal has constructed for us (Hooks/Events, Entities, Plugins, etc).
With unit tests alone, we have managed to maintain ~100% test coverage in our complex Drupal 8 systems, and would like to share how we accomplished this with you.
