Wordpress is a funny beast, really it is. Usually, building a Wordpress site involves something like digging through a hundred pages of templates until you find one that’s merely passable. Once you do, you grab it and start hacking away at everything to make it your own - CSS, HTML, everything. And it’s fine. Really, it is - the internet’s built on sharing ideas.

What a title, eh? Yeah, it might sound a bit like buzzword after buzzword, but functional testing in PHP is a serious topic - sometimes it means the difference between spending fifteen minutes doing a bug check and several hours depending on the size of your site. Now, it’s important to mention that functional tests are different from unit tests - we’re not going to be testing individual functions or methods, but rather we’re going to be making sure that the site works the way our users expect it to from their point of view. This means that we can check our site for error messages and verify that they pop up when they should, and stay hidden when they shouldn’t.
