|
|
2. add `local/mytest/tests/my_test.php` file with `local_my_testcase` class that extends `basic_testcase` or `advanced_testcase`
|
|
3. add some test_*() methods
|
|
4. execute your new test case `phpunit local_my_testcase local/mytest/tests/my_test.php`
|
|
5. execute `php admin/tool/phpunit/cli/init.php` to get the plugin tests included in main phpunit.xml configuration file

|
------------------------------
|
|
1. create new test file in `xxx/tests/yyy_test.php`
