Setup the Testing Environment

Notes

In this episode, you and I will walk through setting up your testing environment. You’ll do the following:

• Spin up a locally hosted website on your machine. I’ll show you in Local (my preferred app).
• Download the Beans 1.4.0 framework, which you’ll use to write your tests in this lab and series.
• Set up the tests file structure.
• Look at Make WordPress’ Testing Standards

You’ll also look at 2 different test repositories, which will give you ideas on how tests and the environment are constructed:

• Beans – which is built strictly following the WordPress coding standard.
• Fulcrum’s Extender Module – which is built using PSR-4 and OOP.
