It provides **two set of helpers**: - the first are framework-agnostic tools that allow to mock (or *monkey patch*) and to test behavior of any **PHP function** - the second are **specific to WordPress** and make unit testing of WordPress extensions a no-brainer. # Requirements - PHP 5.6+ - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install Via Composer following packages are required: - [mockery/mockery](https://packagist.org/packages/mockery/mockery) version 1 (BSD-3-Clause) - [antecedent/patchwork](https://packagist.org/packages/antecedent/patchwork) version 2 (MIT) When installed for development, following packages are also required: - [phpunit/phpunit](https://packagist.org/packages/phpunit/phpunit) version 5.7 (BSD-3-Clause) # License Brain Monkey is open source and released under MIT license.
