This document discusses unit testing in WordPress. It defines unit testing as automated tests that check single assumptions of code. The benefits of unit testing are instant feedback, low chance of errors, and embedding knowledge in code. PHPUnit is introduced as the main tool for unit testing in WordPress. Key aspects of unit testing covered include the Arrange, Act, Assert structure of tests; writing tests before or after code; and common PHPUnit assertions. The document provides an example unit test and contact info for the author.

- 3. MIJN SETUP Device IDE Versiebeheer ENV MacBook Pro PhpStorm GIT, GitHub Vagrant w/ VVV Varying Vagrant Vagrants
- 5. WHAT
- 6. WHAT ARE UNIT TESTS “An automated piece of code that invokes your application code to check a single assumption.” — Pirate Dunbar
- 7. MANUAL TESTING Very time consuming High chance on errors Single point of knowledge
- 9. UNIT TESTING Instant / very fast feedback Low chance on errors Knowledge put in code
- 11. HOW
- 12. DEBUGGING define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); ! if ( WP_DEBUG ) { define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true ); @ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 ); } ! display_errors = On; error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT;
- 13. TWO WAYS OF UNIT TESTING Write your tests, then write code to make your tests pass Write your code, then write tests that pass
- 14. PHPUNIT A command line tool that runs unit tests & reports their results. Created by Sebastian Bergmann Integrated in most IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans, PHPStorm) Auto installed in Vagrant w/ Varying Vagrant Vagrants
- 15. UNIT TESTS REQUIREMENTS Each test should be able to run on its own (isolated) Easy to read Quick to execute Self explaining function names Test classes should inherit from WP_UnitTestCase (which inherits from PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase) Test functions should start w/ test (test_my_test_name)
- 16. ARRANGE ACT ASSERT Setup the context, all variables etc. ! Call the method, do the action, query the database, etc. ! Check if the result matches the expectations.
- 17. ARRANGE ACT ASSERT function test_get_single_role_by_user_query() { // Arrange $this->factory->user->create_many( 2, array( 'role' => 'subscriber' ) ); ! ! ! ! ! ! }
- 18. ARRANGE ACT ASSERT function test_get_single_role_by_user_query() { // Arrange $this->factory->user->create_many( 2, array( 'role' => 'subscriber' ) ); ! // Act $wp_user_search = new WP_User_Query( array( 'role' => 'subscriber' ) ); $users = $wp_user_search->get_results(); ! ! ! }
- 19. ARRANGE ACT ASSERT function test_get_single_role_by_user_query() { // Arrange $this->factory->user->create_many( 2, array( 'role' => 'subscriber' ) ); ! // Act $wp_user_search = new WP_User_Query( array( 'role' => 'subscriber' ) ); $users = $wp_user_search->get_results(); ! // Assert $this->assertEquals( 2, count( $users ) ); }
- 20. ASSERTION A way of explicitly checking the assumptions that your code makes. ! assertEqual() assertTrue() assertNotNull() assertContains() assertGreaterThan() ! http://phpunit.de/manual/3.8/en/writing-tests-forphpunit.html#writing-tests-for-phpunit.assertions
