Testing your database can lead to slow, complex tests that are hard to write.
Hard to write tests, usually don't get written. There can be a better way of
testing this type of code. Using a PHPUnit Extension and framework-agnostic
database tools, we can improve tests that interact with the database.

Despite our best efforts, it’s difficult to future proof our digital assets and
open source projects for accessibility standards. Our code and design may follow
current standards, but will your careful compliance become obsolete when new
guidelines are released? Join AmyJune Hineline for "Beyond Compliance:
Navigating the Accessibility Evolution" - get tickets at longhornphp.com
