Testing Dynamic Theme Detection Implementation in WPScan

This test suite examines the dynamic theme finder functionality in WPScan’s database module. It focuses on validating the theme detection and identification capabilities within the WordPress security scanning system.

Test Coverage Overview

The test suite provides coverage for theme-specific dynamic finder functionality in WPScan. Key areas include:

Theme identification and detection mechanisms
Integration with WPScan’s database module
Relationship with plugin detection systems

Implementation Analysis

The testing approach utilizes RSpec’s described_class pattern for focused component testing. The implementation leverages shared examples and context blocks to maintain DRY principles across theme and plugin testing modules.

Technical patterns include subject definition for dynamic finders and cross-referencing with plugin specifications.

Technical Details

Testing infrastructure includes:

RSpec testing framework
Frozen string literal pragma
Dynamic class loading
Module namespacing (WPScan::DB::DynamicFinders)

Best Practices Demonstrated

The test file exemplifies several testing best practices including proper module namespacing, clear subject definition, and integration with broader plugin testing infrastructure. The pending test (xit) indicates planned expansion of theme-specific test cases while maintaining existing plugin test coverage.
