A basic example, which explains basic logic tests and functional tests, using PHPUnit with selenium.

• Autoloading of classes and namespacing (use: composer install, it will update vendor directory contents for autoloading as per PSR-0)

see instructions below, How to install composer

• [Pear install of PHPunit] (http://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/installation.html#installation.pear)
• [Pear install of PHPunit_Selenium] (http://phpunit.de/manual/3.7/en/selenium.html#selenium.installation)

Note: I have used [latest selenium jar v 2.40.0] (http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/2.40/selenium-server-standalone-2.40.0.jar)

How to run tests:

• For logic tests:

phpunit --colors tests/Basic/CalculatorTest.php

• For functional tests (using selenium):

phpunit tests/Basic/CalculatorWebTest.php

• for all tests, it should be as:

phpunit --colors tests/
PHPUnit 4.0.12 by Sebastian Bergmann.

Configuration read from phpunit.xml

I............

Time: 38.17 seconds, Memory: 4.75Mb

OK, but incomplete, skipped, or risky tests!
Tests: 13, Assertions: 23, Incomplete: 1.

view resides in: src/View/cal.php for which we wrote functional tests.

in phpunit.xml, bootstrap="./vendor/autoload.php" attribute specifies where the bootstrap file is located.

installing composer on MAC

• Goto a directory & get composer:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -d detect_unicode=Off

• move composer into a bin directory you control:

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

• double check composer works

composer about

• (optional) Update composer:

sudo composer self-update

Troubleshooting

if phpunit tests/Basic/CalculatorWebTest.php output says:

OK, but incomplete or skipped tests!

try

phpunit --verbose tests/Basic/CalculatorWebTest.php

This should tell you the issue(s); 1 of the possible reason may be:

The Selenium Server is not active on host localhost at port 4444.

Make sure to run jar so that selenium server listen (in other terminal tab)

java -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-2.40.0.jar
