PHPUnit partial mock
BeginnerContinuous Integration (CI)Code Coverage
When writing unit tests, sometimes we mock classes or interfaces which have certain functions which are missing. This happens a lot during my development with magento. In such a scenario PHPUnit gives you the possibility to provide function name(s) for that interface or class. You can use Partial mocks or use getMockBuilder to mock the class and the missing function properly.

PHPUnit - setUpBeforeClass static method
BeginnerContinuous Integration (CI)Code CoverageSpeed
Recently while writing a unit test, I came across testing a class which needed to test several arbitrary arguments. All the arguments were in a text file which had more than 10000 lines of data. I had to open the file and read it four times as I had four test scenarios. The total time for the tests to be executed was around 4.5 seconds.
PHPUnit Testing Exceptions
BeginnerContinuous Integration (CI)Code CoverageExceptions
There are two ways to tell PHPUnit that you wish to test that an exception was thrown, when you tried to execute your code. It is a good practice to write meaningful names describing which exception was been thrown.
