2. Writing Tests

If your familar with PHPUnit then there isn’t much to explain here. You may use all the same processes and constructs as PHPUnit - the only difference is the class you extend from will be Concise\Core\TestCase.

2.1. Simple Example

class MyTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testSomeStuff()
    {
        $result = 100 + 23;
        $this->assert($result)->exactlyEquals(123);

        $a = ['foo' => 'bar'];
        $this->assertArray($a)->isAssociative;
        $this->assertArray($a)->hasKey('foo');
    }
}

Assertions are made from chaining words and values together. The chaining creates the syntax for the assertion:

// array ? has key ?
$this->assertArray($a)->hasKey('foo');

This syntax is used to find the assertion. If the assertion fails ti will be able to render the data and the assertion in a pretty way.

2.2. Verify vs Assert

verify is a stand in replacement for assert that does not stop the execution of the current test. This is useful when testing several values where a failure would not cause an error:

class MyTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testVerify()
    {
        $this->verify(1)->equals(2);
        $this->verify(2)->equals(2);
        $this->verify(3)->equals(2);
    }
}
