As this is the last chapter of this book, we will write a test that we can execute with the Magento Testing Framework. This framework uses PHPUnit to execute the tests.

console command will be executed.
Getting ready
In this recipe, we will create a unit test for the Packt_HelloWorld
module that we created in Chapters 4, Creating a Module, Chapter 5, Databases and Modules, Chapter 6, Magento Backend, and Chapter 7, Event Handlers and Cronjobs.
If you don't have the complete code, you can install the starter files for this recipe.

app/code/Packt/HelloWorld/Test/
app/code/Packt/HelloWorld/Test/Unit/
app/code/Packt/HelloWorld/Test/Unit/Block/
