Acceptance testing

Moodle uses a framework called Behat to automatically test the user-interface. Tests can be written for each plugin, and for Moodle core.

• To run the existing tests, read Running acceptance test. You really need to do this first.
• To write new tests, read Writing acceptance tests.
• To define new steps that can you used when writing tests, see Writing new acceptance test step definitions

Because Behat tests work through the Moodle user interface, they are a bit slow. Therefore, you should probably also use PHPUnit to test the detailed edge cases in your code.
