Craft ships with PHPUnit... How can we use it to test our plugins?

Question

Since Craft ships with a copy of PHPUnit, is it possible to use that to run tests on a plugin? Or do we need to have a separate copy installed?

Yes it is possible, see this example plugin by Selvin Ortiz: https://github.com/selvinortiz/craft.loath.

You can also check out https://github.com/boboldehampsink/import for some detailed unit tests.

Excellent, thanks Bob, this is exactly what I was looking for! – Lindsey D Sep 04 '14 at 20:33

That plugin uses: /craft/app/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit.php, /craft/app/tests/bootstrap.php, and /craft/app/tests/phpunit.xml which doesn't ship in the latest version of Craft 2 anyone. – Maarten de Graaf Sep 29 '17 at 11:57
True. I still provide these files myself for now and I'm not sure what Craft's future philosophy on testing will be. – Bob Olde Hampsink Oct 03 '17 at 10:59
