What problem does it solve?

Writing and reviewing PHP tests can be error-prone and hard to maintain without established patterns. This skill collects and codifies effective PHPUnit, WordPress test utilities, WooCommerce test patterns, and Brain Monkey isolation strategies to improve test reliability and clarity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PHPUnit patterns: Assertions, expectations, and structure guidelines to keep tests deterministic.
  • WordPress testing utilities: WP_UnitTestCase use, factories, and setup/teardown conventions for plugin tests.
  • Brain Monkey isolation: Techniques to isolate WordPress functions in unit tests for true isolation.
  • Use Case: When you review a plugin's test suite, apply these patterns to reduce flaky tests and speed up development.

Quick Start

Run a quick PHP testing patterns audit on your test suite to identify flaky assertions and refactor with WP_UnitTestCase factories and Brain Monkey.
