How do I write PHPUnit tests for a WooCommerce extension?

To write PHPUnit tests for a WooCommerce extension, use this Skill to generate isolated unit tests and integrate with WordPress testing utilities, ensuring your payment gateway or extension logic handles transaction scenarios correctly.

What's the best way to mock dependencies when unit testing PHP code?

The best way to mock dependencies in PHP unit testing is using test doubles and stubs. This Skill generates PHPUnit mocking configurations to simulate dependencies, allowing you to test specific component interactions without external side effects.

How do data providers work in PHPUnit and when should I use them?

Data providers in PHPUnit supply multiple data sets to a single test method, running assertions against each set efficiently. Use them when you need to validate a function like a discount calculator against various input combinations.

Can I use TDD workflows to build PHP applications with PHPUnit?

Yes, you can use TDD workflows to build PHP applications with PHPUnit. This Skill facilitates the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, helping you write failing tests first, implement code to pass them, and then refactor safely.

Does this PHPUnit testing approach work for existing PHP projects?

Yes, this PHPUnit testing approach works for existing PHP projects. You can write robust unit tests for current components, ensuring code quality and reliability by adhering to PHPUnit best practices without needing external dependencies.
