Using annotations to control input for PHPUnit test cases

README.md

Using annotations in PHPUnit is a non-obtrusive way to control input for test cases. E.g., a custom annotation @httpMockWillRejectWith404 can be added which will instruct a mocked HTTP server to return a 404 code for all requests.

ClassTest.php

<?php

final class ClassTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    # [..]

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    protected function runTest()
    {
        $annotations = $this->getAnnotations();

        if (isset ($annotations['method']['myAnnotation'])) {
            # Set up mock objects accordingly...
        }

        return parent::runTest();
    }
}
