# test
SVRUnit has a separate "**test**" command that you can use to run your tests.\
This is also the default command, so you can also skip that command name.
The command requires that you provide the **XML configuration** file as argument.
```bash
php svrunit.phar test --configuration=./svrunit.xml
```
That's it, your tests should now run.
If you want to get more out of this command, please see this list of available options that you can use.
### Command Options

| --configuration | Required argument to specify the XML configuration file. |
| --group | Only run test suites that contain your provided group name. |
| --exclude-group | Exclude one or more groups.

|
| --debug | Show additonal debug output directly when your tests are executed |
| --stop-on-error | If provided, SVRUnit will immediately fail and stop executing tests, once the first test fails.
