There are multiple ways I've seen people write their test method names.<\/p>\n\n

This is the standard PSR-compliant camel-case method name:<\/p>\n\n

public function testSomethingHappensWhenYouGoToThePage()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n

Some people find long camel-case names hard to read and prefer to use snake-case names:<\/p>\n\n

public function test_something_happens_when_you_go_to_the_page()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n

This still works as the method name still starts with the word test<\/code>, but you'd need to add some overrides to phpcs for it not to complain about using snake-case words.<\/p>\n\n

Another option is to remove the test<\/code> prefix and use an annotation:<\/p>\n\n

\/** @test *\/\npublic function something_happens_when_you_go_to_the_page()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n

And in newer PHPUnit versions, you can also use an attribute:<\/p>\n\n

#[Test]\npublic function something_happens_when_you_go_to_the_page()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n

Whilst this makes the method name shorter, you need to add an additional line before each test method for the annotation or attribute.<\/p>\n\n

Each has pros and cons, and people have their own preferences.<\/p>\n\n
