As the Symphony\Yaml stuff disappeared with behat, we need another way to load read the yaml files with database fixtures for the integration tests. As the php yaml extension is not distributed with PHP by default, this creates it as another dev dependency!
The folder tests/ contains resources for automated testing tools.
Here you will find PHPUnit, Behat, etc. files to test the functionaly of Hubzilla. Right now it only contains some basic tests to see if feasable this can help improve the project.
