Deze plugin **is niet getest met de laatste drie grote versies van WordPress**. 
Mogelijk wordt het niet meer onderhouden of ondersteund. Er kunnen ook compatibiliteitsproblemen
ontstaan wanneer het wordt gebruikt met recentere versies van WordPress.

  Where can I learn more about how to use Pound to test my plugins?

For more information about how it works, why you may want to use it, and how to 
set up and
 run unit tests for your WordPress plugins, please see this article:

  Why not just use PHPUnit?

Pound was created to make it fast and easy to start writing unit tests for your 
WordPress
 plugins. You can run the plugin on the actual site where you are developing
if you don’t have a test site. There is virtually no configuration necessary to 
start writing tests. The overall intention of this plugin is to make unit testing
more accessible to WordPress plugin developers.

PHPUnit is a very powerful tool and is great for testing PHP code including WordPress
plugins.
 In fact, if you get into using WP-CLI you will notice that there is built-
in support for using PHPUnit to test your code. Pound is not intended to replace
the need for PHPUnit. It is intended to provide an easy way to get started with 
unit testing WordPress plugins. It’s a great option for small to medium sized plugins.

  How is Pound different from PHPUnit?

On one hand, Pound and PHPUnit are both tools to help you run automated tests for
your code.
 Pound is built as a WordPress plugin, and therefore really only intended
to be used for WordPress development. PHPUnit can be used to test any codebase. 
The main benefits of Pound over PHPUnit are ease of use. Pound has one boolean check
at the end of each tests. PHPUnit has a very large number of assertions. Pound requires
virtually no configuration to start using. PHPUnit requires XML configuration files
to set up your testing environment. Pound runs right in your web browser with clean,
colorful output. PHPUnit is a command line tool.

### 󠀁[Awesome start!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-start-3/)󠁿

We need to start writing testable code in WordPress plugins! There are very few 
academic projects in this area, and Lee Blue has put forward a really cool plugin
here. This plugin takes a unique approach in that it is extremely simple and limited
in what it can do. It’s a great start for programmers looking to get into testing
their plugins.
