SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing PHPUnit tests for WordPress components without a standard approach leads to brittle, inconsistent test suites. This Skill provides a structured framework and guidelines to create reliable tests that align with SOMA testing standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit and Integration test templates for WordPress components (themes, plugins, Elementor widgets, REST API endpoints, and custom post types).
  • Consistent naming conventions, test organization, and reusable fixtures to accelerate test development.
  • Clear guidance and examples for common scenarios, helping teams maintain high-quality software.

Quick Start

Create new tests by following the Unit/Integration templates under tests/ and run composer test to execute the suite.

Frequently Asked Questions about PHPUnit Testing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write PHPUnit tests for WordPress plugins and themes?▼

PHPUnit testing for WordPress plugins and themes is standardized using WP_UnitTestCase and test data factories. This framework provides structured templates to validate behavior and ensure reproducible results across your custom components.

What is the best way to structure integration tests for WordPress REST API endpoints?▼

Integration tests for WordPress REST API endpoints are structured using consistent naming conventions, reusable fixtures, and standardized templates. This approach aligns with SOMA testing standards to validate behavior reliably.

Can I use WP_UnitTestCase to test Elementor widgets?▼

Yes, WP_UnitTestCase supports testing Elementor widgets within WordPress. The Skill automates PHPUnit testing for these components, applying standard templates and test data factories to validate widget behavior.

Why do my WordPress unit tests return inconsistent results?▼

Inconsistent WordPress unit tests often result from lacking a standard approach and reusable fixtures. Using WP_UnitTestCase with test data factories ensures reproducible results and validates behavior systematically.

Do I need test data factories for custom post type unit tests?▼

Test data factories are required for custom post type unit tests to generate reproducible test data. This Skill supports WP_UnitTestCase usage and factory integration to validate behavior and ensure consistent test outcomes.
