# 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.
