Running tests
The master branch includes unit, functional and performance tests.
If you just want to check that everything is working as expected, executing the unit and functional tests is enough.
phpunit- runs unit and functional testsphpunit --group perf-tests- only runs the performance tests
For information, the performance tests take about 10 minutes to run (processing 1 million rows files is not a quick thing).
