PHPUnit Tests

Tests can be run by executing make test. These tests will run inside Docker containers. Minimum requirement to run tests are:

• Docker (e.g. DockerCE for Mac)
• Docker Compose CLI (usually installed with Docker)
• GNU make (usually already on *nix based system. For Windows see: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)

Test variables can be altered (with caution) in ./tests/docker/.env
