Marvin

Marvin is a simple PHP testing script.

Installation

All you have to do is download the file located in bin/marvin and make it executable. Marvin is just one file.

You might also want to add it to your $PATH.

Usage

Using Marvin requires two steps.

Create test cases.
Run Marvin.

Creating Test Cases

A Marvin test case looks like this:

class OneEq1 extends MarvinTestCase {
	function greetings() {
		assertEquals('hi', 'hi');
	}
	function numbers() {
		assertEquals(1, 2);
	}
	function names() {
		assertEquals('joe', 'frank');
	}
}

That test case would live in a file named one_eq_1.php, or oneEq1.php (capitalization shouldn't matter).

Running Marvin

Marvin is just a CLI. This is all you do:

marvin directory/to/tests

It will tell you if the tests pass or fail. If a test fails it will give you some info about why it failed.

Asserts

Marvin provides three assert functions: assertEquals, assertTrue, and assertFalse.

All of Marvin's assert functions take a optional last parameter: $scrict. These tell Marvin if he should use == or ===. $scrict will default to true.
