Lately, we've been hearing and reading more and more about test-driven development. This domain, however, comes with a series of expressions and specific jargon that can be confusing to newcomers. This article will walk you through the most common definitions, test types and test parts. Use cases will be provided, and, where possible, some code in PHP will also be presented.

They cover several of the common terms you'll come across when working with testing including:

• Automated testing
• Test fixtures
• Test cases
• DOC - Dependency-on component
• Component tests
• Acceptance testing
• Continuous Integration/Delivery

Part 6 now takes our previous fragments of theory and attempts to stitch them together into a cohesive whole - a description of a possible end solution. Yes, I know code talks loudly, and we'll get there with an almighty bang in Part 7 (which I promise is no more than a week away). Until then it's more verbosity.

He suggests a list of six terms to help get everyone on the same page when talking about the complex views:

• Includes
• Partials
• Dispatches
• Layouts
• Placeholders
• Response Segments

Since these terms would mean nothing without proper definitions, he provides a few paragraphs on each explaining what they are and, where necessary, using code to illustrate the point.
