Let’s install PHPUnit on Windows. PHPUnit is a popular testing framework for PHP language. PHPUnit is a unit testing framework for PHP, widely used by developers to test individual pieces of code (like functions, methods, and classes) to ensure they behave as expected. Itâs similar to JUnit (for Java) or NUnit (for .NET).
To install PHPUnit, follow these steps:

If Composer is not already installed, install it. Composer is a dependency manager for PHP, and itâs the most common way to install PHPUnit. The steps to install Composer are outlined here.
