I’m having a hard time understanding how to write unit tests for my controllers in slim. I came across this project [slim-test-helpers](https://github.com/there4/slim-test-helpers). But it looks like it is built for slim 2.6. Has anyone tried it with version 3? Also wondering if there was a beginner how-to on the subject of unit testing with slim

thanks
