Installing the PHPUnit test suite

All of the preceding types of tests (with the exception of NightwatchJS tests) are executed from one test harness, PHPUnit. We can add any number of tests to our custom modules or custom themes and run them using PHPUnit – all we have to do is install it and configure it to point at our test files.

Getting ready

To install, follow these steps:

Open up a Terminal (command line) at the root of your project.

Run the following Composer command:

composer require --dev drupal/core-dev:^10

The drupal/core-dev package will bring in PHPUnit and various dependencies to your project that are needed for writing and running tests in Drupal.
