In WordPress 4.4 the REST API was first introduced. A few releases later in WordPress 4.7, the Content API endpoints were added, paving the way for Gutenberg and countless in-site experiences. In the intervening years, numerous plugins have built on top of the REST API. Many developers shared a common frustration, the lack of external authentication to the REST API. This commit introduces Application Passwords to allow users to connect to external applications to their WordPress website. Users can generate individual passwords for each application, allowing for easy revocation and activity monitoring. An authorization flow is introduced to make the connection flow simple for users and application developers. Application Passwords uses Basic Authentication, and by default is only available over an SSL connection.

Fixes #42790. git-svn-id: https://develop.svn.wordpress.org/trunk@49109 602fd350-edb4-49c9-b593-d223f7449a82
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.
