Rationale

The advantages of this framework:

• faster
• runs every test case in a clean WordPress install
• uses the default PHPUnit runner, instead of custom one
• doesn't encourage or support the usage of shared/prebuilt fixtures

It uses SQL transactions to clean up automatically after each test.

Current Status

This framework has been ported to the official testing suite.
