 */

Fallback sequence

  1. Test annotation
  2. Test case annotation
  3. Default application area, which is global

Test case annotation

A test case annotation enables the specified application area for all tests in the test case.

Test annotations override test case annotations.

/**
 * @magentoAppArea adminhtml
 */
namespace Vendor\Module;
class ClassToTest extends \PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase
{
    public function testOne()
    {
        //...
    }

    /**
     * @magentoAppArea frontend
     */
    public function testTwo()
    {
        //...
    }

    public function testThree()
    {
        //...
    }
}

testOne() and testThree() are set to run in scope of the adminhtml application area, whereas testTwo() is set to run in scope of the frontend area.

Test annotation

A test annotation is used to configure the environment in scope of the specified application area for the test. Magento is reinitialized in the corresponding scope each time you specify a different area.

    /**

    public function testThree()
    {
        //...
    }

    // reinitializes the application and executes the test in scope of the global area
    public function testFour()
    {

    }

    // executes in scope of the global area
    public function testFive()
    {
        //...
    }
