Extending Concise

Using Concise with Other Frameworks

Concise is designed to work perfectly over the top of PHPUnit. But it can also be used by any other framework by simply instantiating and managing the Concise\Core\TestCase yourself:

use \Concise\Core\TestCase;

class MyTinyTestSuite
{
    protected $testCase;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->testCase = new TestCase();
    }

    public function checkSomething()
    {
        $this->testCase->setUp();
        $this->testCase->assert(3 + 5)->equals(8);
        $this->testCase->tearDown();
    }
}

Since Concise implicitly expects setUp() and tearDown() methods to be called at appropriate times but does not enforce this behaviour - if you use it differently then it may do unexpected things.
