How Are Y'All Unit Testing Your WordPress Code (If You Are)
First and foremost - I prefer end to end testing with tools like cypress or phpunit+browserkit over integration testing with the core test suite you linked. If I do reach for the core test suite lately I like the wp-phpunit package instead of the script you get from the wp-cli scaffolding.

How Are Y'All Unit Testing Your WordPress Code (If You Are)
There is an effort called WP_Mock started by GoDaddy which attempts to mock the WordPress API, thus doing what I just accused the official version of testing of getting wrong. And this also feels wrong. Running tests against a mock of WordPress' API feels insufficient except for the simplest cases. Also if I'm not actually "testing against WordPress" I don't get the benefits of the official way, like being able to easy test against future and past versions of WordPress. I'm just testing against whatever version the mock attempts to replicate.
