Requirements

To run the PHPUnit tests in TestComplete:

  • Specify the path to the PHPUnit module (phpunit) in the Unit Testing Options dialog.

    To open the dialog, select Tools | Options from the TestComplete main menu and then select Engines | Unit Testing in the resulting Options dialog.

  • To run Selenium tests, make sure that your computer and TestComplete project meet the requirements describes in Integration With Selenium - Prerequisites.

    Make sure that the Selenium Server is running before you start the testing or configure TestComplete to run Selenium Server automatically.

1. Prepare Your Test Machine, TestComplete and Tests
  • Make sure that the computer where you will run tests, TestComplete and your tests are prepared for testing.

    To learn how to prepare Selenium tests for testing, see –

    Integration With Selenium - Prerequisites

  • Copy your PHPUnit test files to your TestComplete computer.

2. Configure Your TestComplete Project
  • Open your TestComplete test project or create a new one.

  • To run Selenium tests created by using PHPUnit, you must have Selenium Server running when the test starts. You can configure TestComplete to run Selenium Server automatically:

    • In the Selenium Options dialog, set the path to your Selenium Server and the path to the Java Virtual Machine that will run the server.

3. Configure the PHPUnit Item to Run Needed Tests
  • In Module, enter the path to your PHP module (.php). You can click the ellipsis button and browse for the PHP module in the subsequent dialog.

  • Select the mode you want to use to run tests:

    • To run all the tests defined in your PHP module, select Run all tests from the module in the Modes section.

    • To run only specific tests, select Run specified tests in the Modes section.

      On the Tests list, specify the tests you want to run.

      To add a test, click Add and enter the test name. You can enter the test method name, for example, test1, or the test method name with the test case class name separated by ::, for example, TestCaseClass1::test1.

      To remove a selected test from the list, click Remove. To temporary exclude a test from a test run, clear the check box next to the test name in the list.
