Unit Testing: What? Why? How?
John Blackbourn WordPress core developer Working with WordPress for 10+
years Senior Engineer at Human Made @johnbillion
Unit Testing: What? Why? How?
You’re Going to L VE Unit Testing
That’s Enough of That
Unit Testing: What? Why? How?
A unit test is a piece of code which exists
only to verify expectations about the behaviour of another piece of code Verification
a.k.a. “Does my function do what I expect it to
do?”
A unit test operates in isolation in order to avoid
external interference Isolated
Tests typically run on the command line CLI
Tests are highly efficient because they're quickly repeatable Automated
Crossing your fingers and hoping… is not a unit test
Unit Testing: What? Why? How?
A unit test can cover many scenarios and never misses
anything Accuracy
Unit tests give you increased assurance that changes are less
likely to cause breakage Assurance
Unit tests give you confidence to make changes Confidence
Unit tests help you write better code Smaller functions Separation
of concerns Quality
Unit tests can be liberating Clarity
