Test doubles
Prophecy is a framework for creating test doubles that was initially built for the requirements of phpspec, but it can be used with any other PHP testing framework. Since PHPUnit 4.5 it bundles Prophecy within PHPUnit itself, but as of PHPUnit 9.x this bundling is deprecated and set to be removed in PHPUnit 10.

Testing with immutable PSR-7 objects and Prophecy
Recently I have been working a lot with PSR-15 and PSR-18 and one of the characteristics of these recommendations is that it uses the immutable objects specified in PSR-7. Soon after we introduced PSR-18 in our codebase a colleague implemented a client including a unit test that was passing. And yet the code was failing when run in the browser. The cause of this was that the fact that RequestInterface objects are immutable by specification was overlooked. Due to the use of Prophecy and prophesized objects we were struggling to properly test it. Until another colleague introduced me to Argument::that() that is.

Elasticsearch Sample Data Generator
To learn elasticsearch, you need lots of data to make queries as you want. I searched a few places to get a valid dump. But I couldn't find any dump that I can go with. Also what I found online, I am not familiar with the types of data. So, I thought to make a generator of my own. I have already used Artisan Console and fzaninotto/Faker, that's why I thought to make a generator that anyone can use with their terminal and generate the dump the way they wish.

Creating Your First Blog With TALL - Part Four
Model factories in Laravel allow you to generate dummy/fake data using the Faker PHP library. The Faker library allows generating random data by specifying various attributes. With factories you define fake data to be generated for each attribute/column of your model. This not only saves you time of manually inserting database records, but enables you to save thousands of records in your database within seconds.
