Testify - a micro unit testing framework
========================================

[](#testify---a-micro-unit-testing-framework)

Testify is a micro unit testing framework for PHP 5.3+. It strives for elegance instead of feature bloat. Testing your code is no longer a chore - it's fun again.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3+ is required
- [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to install Testify is recommended (but you can do this manually)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Here is an example for a test suite with two test cases:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Math\MyCalc;
use Testify\Testify;

$tf = new Testify("MyCalc Test Suite");

$tf->beforeEach(function($tf) {
	$tf->data->calc = new MyCalc(10);
});

$tf->test("Testing the add() method", function($tf) {
	$calc = $tf->data->calc;

	$calc->add(4);
	$tf->assert($calc->result() == 14);

	$calc->add(-6);
	$tf->assertEquals($calc->result(), 8);
});

$tf->test("Testing the mul() method", function($tf) {
	$calc = $tf->data->calc;

	$calc->mul(1.5);
	$tf->assertEquals($calc->result(), 12);

	$calc->mul(-1);
	$tf->assertEquals($calc->result(), -12);
});

$tf();
```

Documentation
=============

[](#documentation)

- `__construct( string $title )` - The constructor
- `test( string $name, [Closure $testCase = null] )` - Add a test case.
- `before( Closure $callback )` - Executed once before the test cases are run
- `after( Closure $callback )` - Executed once after the test cases are run
- `beforeEach( Closure $callback )` - Executed for every test case, before it is run
- `afterEach( Closure $callback )` - Executed for every test case, after it is run
- `run( )` - Run all the tests and before / after functions. Calls report() to generate the HTML report page
- `assert( boolean $arg, [string $message = ''] )` - Alias for assertTrue() method
- `assertTrue( boolean $arg, [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if given a truthfull expression
- `assertFalse( boolean $arg, [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if given a falsy expression
- `assertEquals( mixed $arg1, mixed $arg2, string [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if $arg1 == $arg2
- `assertNotEquals( mixed $arg1, mixed $arg2, string [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if $arg1 != $arg2
- `assertSame( mixed $arg1, mixed $arg2, string [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if $arg1 === $arg2
- `assertNotSame( mixed $arg1, mixed $arg2, string [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if $arg1 !== $arg2
- `assertInArray( mixed $arg, array $arr, string [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if $arg is an element of $arr
- `assertNotInArray( mixed $arg, array $arr, string [string $message = ''] )` - Passes if $arg is not an element of $arr
- `pass( string [string $message = ''] )` - Unconditional pass
- `fail( string [string $message = ''] )` - Unconditional fail
