Let's Simplify Magento

We have checked on how to do unit testing in magento in previous post . That is not enough to test the magento website. If we can testing the magento home page, login page, etc. it would be great. Fortunately, we have a module that deals with this situation.

Magento 2 comes with default unit testing in built. But, for magento 1, it is very difficult to perform unit testing. There is an extension EcomDev_PHPUnit, which can help us in performing unit tests in magento 1.

In magento 2, there is some small modifications done to send transactional emails. You can find the sample code in the git repo .

In magento 2, there is a small change in the implementation of the payment gateway. There is some addition in the frontend code as the checkout is now coming by the component ui. You can find the sample code in the git repo .

In magento 2, the system configuration has gone little changes. Now we can access the configuration from Stores > Settings > Configuration. Also, there is small changes in the system.xml file also. Now the system.xml file is inside etc/adminhtml/ folder. You can find the sample code in the git repo .

Sometimes in our module we require to create product or category attributes automatically on module install. Also, we might require to add extra fields to quote, sales order, invoice, creditmemo tables. We will go through how to do that in magento 2. You can find the sample code in the git repo .
