or historical platforms.”

Unit Testing Series

Unit Testing Series
1. Unit Testing like a Pirate
2. Buccaneering the high seas with PHPUnit
3. Mo’ plugins mo’ problems
4. Steering clear of wreckages and skulls
5. Avast! TDD for sailors and salty dogs

what is unit testing
“An automated piece of code that
invokes your application code to
check a single assumption.”
— Pirate Dunbar

what is unit testing
“Separating
the application
design &
implementation
process.”

what is PHPUNIT
“A command line
tool that runs
unit tests &
reports their
results.”

what is PHPUNIT
$>phpunit

what is PHPUNIT
Time: 1 sec, Memory: 8.75Mb
OK (200 tests, 355 assertions)

what is PHPUNIT
There was 1 failure:
1) WPSkeletonPluginTestAutoloadTest::testThatItsTestingTime
What time is it? - it's testing time! :D

FAILURES!
Tests: 2, Assertions: 1, Failures: 1.

what is PHPUNIT
Test Case
a set of conditions or
variables that you set
up in order to assert an
expected outcome.

what is PHPUNIT
Test SUITE
A collection of test cases.

<?php
class SubscriptionTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
// test cases ...
public function testHasAccessWithPassDueCustomerBlocksAccess()
{
// AAA
}
public function testAddSubscriptionWithInvalidCustIdReturnsWPError()
{
// AAA
}
}

Assertions
“a way of explicitly checking the
assumptions that your code
makes”

n• $this->assertTrue();
• $this->assertEquals();
• $this->assertContains();
• $this->assertGreaterThan();
• $this->assertNotNull();
• $this->assertFalse();
• $this->assertNotEquals();
• $this->assertContainsOnly();
• $this->assertLessThan();
• $this->assertType();

Anatomy of a test case

1. a
2. A
3. A

1. A
2. A
3. Assert(check for the expected value)

1. A
2. Act(call the method/trigger the action)

1. arrange (the context)
2. Act(call the method/trigger the action)

nWAYS TO TEST CODE
• test if/else conditionals
• test all cases in switch
• verify loops contain proper
data.
• Check for expected state
• Check return value type
• Pass unexpected data
• Verify correct amount
• assertContains for SQL
Queries
• Verify that third party
method was called.
• $this->assertType();
• etc...

nWAYS TO kickstart your brain
• write out list of requirements for
each feature
• do the UI ﬁrst
