I already tried installing PHPUnit, so I will try simple samples.

message.php

class Message
{
	private $message;
	public function __construct(string $message){
		$this->message = $message;
	}

	public function get(){
		return $this->message;
	}
}

messageTest.php

require_once ('../vendor/autoload.php');
require_once (dirname(__FILE__) .'../src/message.php');

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class MessageTest extends TestCase{
	public function testGet(){
		$message = new Message('hello, world');
		$this->assertEquals('hello, world', $message->get());
	}
}

command line
[vagrant@localhost app]$ vendor/bin/phpunit tests
PHP Warning: require_once(../vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/vagrant/local/app/tests/messageTest.php on line 3
PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘../vendor/autoload.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php’) in /home/vagrant/local/app/tests/messageTest.php on line 3

fix

require_once ('./vendor/autoload.php');
require_once ('./src/message.php');

use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class MessageTest extends TestCase{
	public function testGet(){
		$message = new Message('hello, world');
		$this->assertEquals('hello, world', $message->get());
	}
}

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh^^

Unit test is a test to check the operation in units such as classes and functions that are the constituent elements of the program. By using PHPUnit, it is possible to create a unit test procedure as a PHP program and execute it as a batch process from a command line or the like.

Speaking of PHP program testing, it is common to manually check the screen transition by manipulating the browser manually, enter values in the form and check the result with the eyes. However, it is quite tedious task to open the page many times during development, enter the test data in the same way, and manually do all the results correctly.

The advantage of using PHPUnit that can automate and repetitively execute troublesome test procedures manually.

Since you can run the test as many times as you like with a single command, you can improve test efficiency and eliminate manual errors as well. In addition, the created test program replaces the specifications, confirming that existing process works correctly in the process of continually improving the program, so-called “degrate” it can also be used to prevent. It can lead to maintenance and improvement of program quality.

class Hello
{
	public function getMessage()
	{
		return "Hello world";
	}
}
