Any good resources on how to do “interaction” tests?
Use some library with WebDriver API (f.ex. Symfony Panther if you want to stick to PHP, or Playwright) to run tests against your WP backend
-
Any pro-tips for writing automated tests with Selenium PHP?
Personal experience: - don’t use Behat unless you really needed a “story telling”, it has a intermediate layer Gherkin that you’ll need to code. You can write “Given/When/Then” steps but you’ll also need to write “php code” that will interpret this step. - using real browser be prepared for instability - any interaction with JavaScript can broken/delay execution - be prepared that this tests are call functional they are the most expensive test, so start small unit then integration and only then functional. - use https://github.com/symfony/panther or https://codeception.com/ you’ll have phpunit alike interface to run them. - you’ll need to reset state of your database each time to provide “isolation” and stability

How do you test your code ?
For tools, I use PHPUnit, Symfony's PHPUnit helper classes, and Panther (for frontend/headless-browser testing, mostly JS behavior)
