function yourfunction($a,$z){
   if($a<$z){ throw new <YOUR_EXCEPTION>; }
}

下面是测试

class FunctionTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase{

   public function testException(){

      $this->setExpectedException(<YOUR_EXCEPTION>::class);
      yourfunction(1,2);//add vars that cause the exception 

   }

}

<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Framework.php';

class ExceptionTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    public function testException()
    {
        $this->expectException(InvalidArgumentException::class);
        // or for PHPUnit < 5.2
        // $this->setExpectedException(InvalidArgumentException::class);

        //...and then add your test code that generates the exception 
        exampleMethod($anInvalidArgument);
    }
}

PHPUnit文档

PHPUnit作者文章提供了关于测试异常最佳实践的详细解释。

public function testException() {
    try {
        $this->methodThatThrowsException();
        $this->fail("Expected Exception has not been raised.");
    } catch (Exception $ex) {
        $this->assertEquals("Exception message", $ex->getMessage());
    }
    
}

另一种方法是:

$this->expectException(\InvalidArgumentException::class);
$this->expectExceptionMessage('Expected Exception Message');

请确保您的测试类扩展\PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase。

您可以使用assertException扩展在一次测试执行期间断言多个异常。

插入方法到您的TestCase并使用:

public function testSomething()
{
    $test = function() {
        // some code that has to throw an exception
    };
    $this->assertException( $test, 'InvalidArgumentException', 100, 'expected message' );
}

我还为喜欢漂亮代码的人做了一个trait ..

对于PHPUnit 5.7.27和PHP 5.6，要在一个测试中测试多个异常，强制进行异常测试是很重要的。如果没有异常发生，则单独使用异常处理来断言exception实例将跳过对情况的测试。

public function testSomeFunction() {

    $e=null;
    $targetClassObj= new TargetClass();
    try {
        $targetClassObj->doSomething();
    } catch ( \Exception $e ) {
    }
    $this->assertInstanceOf(\Exception::class,$e);
    $this->assertEquals('Some message',$e->getMessage());

    $e=null;
    try {
        $targetClassObj->doSomethingElse();
    } catch ( Exception $e ) {
    }
    $this->assertInstanceOf(\Exception::class,$e);
    $this->assertEquals('Another message',$e->getMessage());

}
