Summary


In this chapter, we went over the basics of Magento testing. The purpose of this chapter was not to build complex tests or go in too deep, but rather get our feet wet and get a clear idea of what we can do to test our extensions.

We covered several important topics in this chapter, and by having proper test suites and tools, it can save us from future headaches and improve the quality of our code.

In the next and final chapter, we will learn how to package and distribute custom code and extensions.
