<-30;42mOK (1 test, 1 assertion)<-[0m


//Note: There is a "." belween "Configuration read..." and "Time: ...."   This "." shows that 1 test was run



// Below is the view if the test fails: We will give path of "TestCase.php" which is not actually a test case & 

hence test will fail:

// Then run the "TrueTest.php" in phpunit with below command:

phpunit app/tests/TrueTest.php
