Sustainable PHP: Database Playback Testing

While completing the Deep Analysis we discussed last month, I was faced with the inability to test. That’s because—I discovered–accounting data cannot be erased—even in the sandbox.

We’ll capture the accounting data as we send it through the API, along with capturing data at various points along the way.
