[](#usage)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Install via Composer:

```
composer require damianlewis/oc-octobertesting-plugin --dev
```

### Plugin Feature & Unit Tests

[](#plugin-feature--unit-tests)

To test plugins, create a `tests` folder within the plugin base folder and copy the `phpunit.xml` file to this location, for example, `/plugins/acme/blog/tests/phpunit.xml`. Create sub folders for feature and unit tests, for example, `/plugins/acme/blog/tests/feature/` and `/plugins/acme/blog/tests/unit/`. Then in the tests folders, create tests following the principles used for [Laravel testing](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/testing). Test suites have been configured within the `phpunit.xml` file for feature and unit tests.

When creating tests, use the alternative `Tests\PluginTestCase` class. This alternative class doesn't make use of an in memory database, allowing you to choose what database you wish to use for testing. See example below.
