O Guia Definitivo do Yii 1.1

The testing supported provided by Yii requires PHPUnit 3.4+ and Selenium Remote
Control 1.0+. Please refer to their documentation on how to install PHPUnit and Selenium
Remote Control.
When we use the yiic webapp console command to create a new Yii application, it will
generate the following files and directories for us to write and perform new tests:
testdrive/
protected/
tests/
fixtures/
functional/
unit/
report/
bootstrap.php
phpunit.xml
WebTestCase.php
containing protected application files
containing tests for the application
containing database fixtures
containing functional tests
containing unit tests
containing coverage reports
the script executed at the very beginning
the PHPUnit configuration file
the base class for Web-based functional tests
As shown in the above, our test code will be mainly put into three directories: fixtures,
functional andunit, and the directory report will be used to store the generated code
coverage reports.
To execute tests (whether unit tests or functional tests), we can execute the following
commands in a console window:
% cd testdrive/protected/tests
% phpunit functional/PostTest.php // executes an individual test
% phpunit --verbose functional // executes all tests under
'functional'
% phpunit --coverage-html ./report unit
In the above, the last command will execute all tests under the unit directory and generate
a code-coverage report under the report directory. Note that xdebug extension must be
installed and enabled in order to generate code-coverage reports.
Test Bootstrap Script
Let's take a look what may be in the bootstrap.php file. This file is so special because it is
like the entry script and is the starting point when we execute a set of tests.
