PHPUnit assertIsNotString() Function

The assertIsNotString() function is a builtin function in PHPUnit and is used to assert whether the actually obtained value is Not a string value. This assertion will return true in the case if the actual value is Not a string else returns false. In case of true the asserted test case got passed else test case got failed.

Syntax:

assertIsNotString($actual[, $message = ''])

Parameters: This function accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:

• $actualvalue: This parameter is of any type which represents the actual data.
• $message: This parameter takes a string value. When the test case got failed this string message got displayed as an error message.

Below examples illustrate the assertIsNotString() function in PHPUnit:

Example 1:

PHP

<?php
use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;

class GeeksPhpunitTestCase extends TestCase
{
    public function testNegativeTestcaseForassertIsNotString()
    {
        $actualvalue = "22";

        // Assert function to test whether given
        // actualvalue is a string or not
        $this->assertIsNotString(
          $actualvalue,
          "actualvalue is a string or not"
        );
    }
}

?>
