pdoMap and the agile software development |
|
The agile software development is a list of practices that allows software developers to be responsive to customer requests and easily adjust their development. For more information I'll invite you to read the article which wiki has dedicated to this subject.
To implement this type of practice, you should know how to redesign and re-factor your code without regressing functionally. With pdoMap, such issues are no longer problematical.
With pdoMap:
- Your code is centralized so as to facilitate these changes:
- The structure of your databases
- The services and applications
- The synchronization procedures will simplify the migration and deployment
- For each service you can automatically generate unit tests compatible with PHPUnit

Introducing the relational mapping |
|
An ORM is a tool that allows you to convert the recordings of your database into objects used in your code like any other object.
You can then implement an object model representing your database and then use all the advantages of object-oriented programming.
The ORM is the end of thousands of stored procedures, the duplication of SQL queries, problems of migration, upgrades or maintenance. |
