Syntax:assertNotEquals (mixed $expected, mixed $actual, string $message = ’’)
Parameters: This function takes three parameters as shown in the above syntax. The parameters are described below: - $Expected: This parameter is of any type that represents the expected data.
- $actual: this parameter is of any type that represents actual data.
- $message: this parameter accepts a string value. When the test case failed, this string message was displayed as an error message.
The following programs illustrate the assertNotEquals() function in PHPUnit: Program 1: use
PHPUnitFrameworkTestCase;
class
GeeksPhpunitTestCase
extends
TestCase
{
public
function
testNegativeTestcaseForAssertNotEquals()
{
$expected
=
" engineer "
;
$actual
=
"engineer"
;
// Submit function to check if expected
// value does not match actual or not
$this
-> assertNotEquals (
$expected
,
$actual
,
"actual value is equals to expected"
);
}
}
?>
