I am trying the “module certification” section in oxid documentation and i need some guidance for starters.
i have maintained the file/folder structure accordingly and now the section in documentation talks about test cases. So i want to ask,
Should i only use testing_library mentioned in documentation? I cannot use PHPUnit tests? Will it be a problem in module certification if i don’t use testing_library because i am on windows platform. and testing_library is not supported on windows (https://github.com/OXID-eSales/testing_library)
Also right now i just created a simple test file and looks like this right now: https://prnt.sc/pkitqw
Am i heading in the right direction?
I am using OXID shop CE version 6.1.4
PHP version: 7.0.33
Any suggestions/corrections for me OXID community?
try to use a virtual machine like vagrant or docker

That i can. But my point is if i dont use testing_library provided by oxid. Will this be a problem in getting the module certified?
This question can only answered by oxid.
I think the main goal of the certification is the integration into the shop without affecting the standard process of the shop.

I see they say "It is recommended to use testing library" But that means i am not restricted to only use testing library.
As they announced this testing library on oxid commons, they also showed a spreadsheet for certitifation costs calculation. As far as I remember, the certification is cheaper if you use the recommended testing library. This spreadsheet should be somewhere in the module testing kit, maybe on github or oxidforge.
On this page https://docs.oxid-esales.com/developer/en/6.1/modules/certification/software_tests.html they say you should use the OXVM and run all shop tests with the module installed before applying for certification.
@leofonic I have configured OXVM but i dont see its advantage because at the end i got shop files in Ubuntu.
My point is whether i should use testing_library provided by oxid or not?
Beause testing_library won’t run on windows (i dont know why!). So if i use virtualbox and install ubuntu in that. and just use it as my second OS, like install composer, php, oxid shop, and create test cases using testing_library will that be okay? Also OXVM comes with cli ubuntu i think i am not able to see any GUI have searched it for hours.
Hi @Mohsin_Javaid,
if you trigger the selenium installation as described here https://github.com/OXID-eSales/oxvm_base#trigger-selenium-installation you will also get a minimalistic desktop which is accessible via VNC.
