Question

I’ve following abstract class and have a question about how to write a unit test for this. Is this in fact needed? As this class doesn’t have any concrete methods.

<?php

abstract class PickupPoint_Abstract {
    public function __construct($client) {}
    public function getPickupPoints($countryCode, $postalCode, $city) {}
    public function getPickupPointDetails($pickupPointId, $countryCode) {} }

Answer 1

No, you don’t need to test it, because there is nothing to test.

By the way abstract methods should be defined like

<?php
abstract class PickupPoint_Abstract {
    public function __construct($client) {}
    abstract public function getPickupPoints($countryCode, $postalCode, $city);
    abstract public function getPickupPointDetails($pickupPointId, $countryCode);
}
?>

You made hooks, which may not be overridden.

See Class Abstraction.
