Sergey Biryukov 4b22694e76 Tests: Remove @uses tags from the test suite.
* These were not used consistently, with only four instances across all the tests.
* Using this tag in combination with the `beStrictAboutCoversAnnotation="true"` setting will mark a test as "Risky" if code is executed during the test which is not annotated via `@covers` or `@uses` tags. That would make the maintainance of the tags very fiddly, while adding little additional value for the test code base.

Follow-up to [32995], [39914], [42636], [53682].

Props jrf.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
