WordPress Acceptance Testing: Solved
summary
WP Acceptance is an open source toolkit that runs docker-based environments and spins up a real Chrome browser per test via Puppeteer while extending PHPUnit assertions. It enforces reproducible environments with a version-controlled wpacceptance.json, supports an S3-backed snapshots workflow (snapshot IDs) for large DBs, can enforce a clean DB between tests, and integrates with Travis/GitLab CI. The demo shows tests creating posts, logging in, and saving plugin settings successfully.
