Introduction

A code kata is an exercise in programming which helps a programmer hone their skills through practice and repetition.

Currently, the project contains the following code katas:

• TheFizzBuzzKata
• ThePrimeFactorsKata I've modified the original ThePrimeFactorsKata from Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) as follows:
  • My solution validates the specified argument.
  • I do not refactor the two while-loops into two for-loops, since the code looks more complicated then.
• TheBowlingGameCata I've modified the original TheBowlingGameCata from Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) as follows:
  • My solution uses validation, whenever required. Note: Correct validation for the allowed number of rolls is currently missing.
  • My solution uses a constant instead of the magic number 10 for the number of pins.
  • The private method rollStrike has been moved from the test class to the implementation class and its visibility was changed to public.
  • The private method sumOfBallsInFrame has been renamed to sumOfPinsInFrame.
  • Prefix incrementation (++$i) is used instead of postfix incrementation ($i++), where applicable.
  • The method names of the test cases have been renamed to reflect their actual goal.

Features

• Artifacts tested with both static and dynamic test procedures:
  • Dynamic component tests (unit tests) implemented using PHPUnit.
  • Static code analysis performed using the following tools:
    • PHP_CodeSniffer: Style Checker
    • PHP Mess Detector (PHPMD): Code Analyzer
    • phpcpd: Copy/Paste Detector (CPD)
    • phpdcd: Dead Code Detector (DCD)
• Follows the PSR-0 requirements for autoloader interoperability.
• Follows the PSR-1 basic coding style guide.
• Follows the PSR-2 coding style guide.
• Follows the Semantic Versioning Specification (SemVer) 2.0.0-rc.1.

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4
