You can use ShrimpTest for this. Basically, you need to reverse the test idea. You’re making three separate posts, one of which will be displayed on the front page. That means that two others will not be displayed on the front page. So you’re doing an exclusion. Say your three posts have id’s of 101, … Read more
If all that you want to test is that the translation files exist, then this is probably the simplest approach, since you’ll probably already be using PHPUnit to run unit/integration tests on the plugin code. However, just checking whether the files exist doesn’t tell you much. It doesn’t tell you whether those languages are actually … Read more
There is nothing stopping you from writing your own unit testing for themes/plugins using PHPUnit or some other testing platform.

Is object injection really necessary? To be fully testable in isolation, code should avoid to instantiate classes directly, and inject any object that is needed inside objects. However, there are at least two exceptions to this rule: The class is a language class, e.g. ArrayObject The class is a proper “value object”. No need to … Read more
I think that what you are looking for would actually technically be called functional testing, integration testing, or acceptance testing. It sounds like you want to test the behavior of the front-end of your website (or the front-end behavior of a plugin or theme), not each unit of the code itself. You might use a … Read more

I just wrote this quick plugin and it seems to work. Let me know if there is a better way. <?php /* Plugin Name: Theme Switch if Admin Description: Display different theme to user if logged in as admin Author: Kyle Barber */ add_filter(‘template’, ‘change_theme’); add_filter(‘option_template’, ‘change_theme’); add_filter(‘option_stylesheet’, ‘change_theme’); function change_theme($theme) { if ( current_user_can(‘manage_options’) … Read more
There is a bit of personal philosophy that goes into a deployment workflow. It’s not an easy question to answer outright without knowing your experience with servers and version control, your operating system, hosting, client’s experience and tech culture, etc… Here’s a similar question that has a lot of explanation. For content deployment, you can … Read more
According to this test, you use set_current_screen() to navigate to one of these in the setUp method. Alas, none of this is apparent if you look at the tremendously-helpful reference page for get_current_screen()… Example: <?php class AxisSetupTest extends WP_UnitTestCase { /** * @covers AxisWP::__construct */ function test_constructor() { // Assert // Admin $this->assertInternalType(‘integer’, has_action( ‘admin_enqueue_scripts’, … Read more
As an ex-software engineer building large business types who landed in an interactive agency let me give you a few thoughts on testing when developing for WordPress: Your Unit Testing should test the smallest amount of behavior that a class can perform. Each class should be able to be tested independently of WordPress. If you … Read more
