Local WordPress Test Environment

All PHP tests are based off of the WordPress "unit" test suite, and therefore need a full WordPress test environment. The install script in '/bin' is pretty standard and should work with VVV or whatever.

We provide a docker-based development environment. It is recommended that you use this environment because the setup is scripted and all of the tests can be run with it.

The local server is http://localhost:8228
