Setting up PHPUnit Testing For WordPress Plugins and Laravel.

Here’s my new tutorial I would like to share with you all is Setting up PHP Unit Testing For WordPress Plugins and Laravel.

What is Unit Testing and PHPUnit?

PHPUnit is a framework independent library for unit testing PHP.

Unit testing is a method by which small units of code are tested against expected results. Unit Testing helps to reduce such types of bugs. PHPUnit saves a lot of development time for developers because by writing unit tests, our code becomes less prone to defects.

I started using PHPUnit for my personal projects for both WordPress plugins and Laravel. I am no expert in Unit Testing but I am going to share with you guys how easy it is to install on your WP and Laravel Projects.

Requirements:

– I am currently using Homestead/Vagrant. It will also work with Docker and MAMP

– PHP 7 +

– Composer

– Laravel and/or WordPress

Commands:

composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit ^7
