PHPunit Tests Code Style Guide

Test Method Names Should Be In snake_case

Justification:

Test method name should be verbose and snake casing makes longer text far easier to read and understand at a glance.

✅ Accepted:

public function some_test_case()

❌ Denied:

public function someTestCase()

Tests Method Names should be annotated with @test, not prefixed with test_

Justification:

Removes an extra word to allow more verbosity in the test method name. Sets you up for using other annotations like groups. This also makes it clear what is actually a test vs. a helper method in a test file.

✅ Accepted:

/** @test **/
public function the_thing_does_the_other_thing()

❌ Denied:

public function test_the_thing_does_the_other_thing()
