Testing

Testing against multiple PHP / PowerDNS versions can be done by using the provided docker-compose.yml and the
run-tests.sh shell script:

bash
$ docker-compose up -d $ ./run-tests.sh

After running docker-compose up -d wait a few seconds so PowerDNS can be initialized. You can leave the containers
running and call the test script multiple times.

To test against a specific PHP / PowerDNS combination, you can provide the PHP version as first and the PowerDNS
version as second parameter:

bash
$ ./run-tests.sh 7.4 4.3
