Brain Monkey
👁 PHP Quality Assurance
👁 codecov
Brain Monkey is a tests utility for PHP.
It provides two set of helpers:
- the first are framework-agnostic tools that allow to mock (or monkey patch) and to test behavior of any PHP function
- the second are specific to WordPress and make unit testing of WordPress extensions a no-brainer.
Requirements
- PHP 7.2+
- Composer to install
Via Composer following packages are required:
- mockery/mockery version 1 (BSD-3-Clause)
- antecedent/patchwork version 2 (MIT)
When installed for development, following packages are also required:
- phpunit/phpunit version 8.5 or higher (BSD-3-Clause)
