# Brain Monkey

[![Travis CI status](https://travis-ci.org/Brain-WP/BrainMonkey.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Brain-WP/BrainMonkey)

Brain Monkey is a tests utility for PHP.

It provides **two set of helpers**:

  - the first are framework-agnostic tools that allow to mock (or *monkey patch*) and to test behavior of any **PHP function**
