    public function test_insert_post()
    {
        // Loading data.
        $this->setPostFixture(__DIR__ . '/post_fixture.yml');

        // We can get the post data that inserted by the fixture function.
        $posts = get_posts();

        // Can use all features in PHPUnit.
        $this->assertEquals($expect, $result);
