-The `<db-password>` will be set as given. Previously, you would have needed to escape certain characters (forward & backward slashes, and ampersand), but install.sh now escapes them when it needs to internally. You may still need to quote strings with backslashes to prevent them from being processed by the shell or other programs.

     $ tests/bin/install.sh woocommerce_tests root root

-    $ tests/bin/install.sh woocommerce_tests root 'a\\b/&'
-    #  Previously, the password would have had to be passed as 'a\\\\b\/\&'
+    #  woocommerce_tests is the database name and root is both the MySQL user and its password.
 
 **Important**: The `<db-name>` database will be created if it doesn't exist and all data will be removed during testing.

 * Use the test coverage HTML report (under `tmp/coverage/index.html`) to examine which lines your tests are covering and aim for 100% coverage
 * For code that cannot be tested (e.g. they require a certain PHP version), you can exclude them from coverage using a comment: `// @codeCoverageIgnoreStart` and `// @codeCoverageIgnoreEnd`. For example, see [`wc_round_tax_total()`](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/35f83867736713955fa2c4f463a024578bb88795/includes/wc-formatting-functions.php#L208-L219)
 * In addition to covering each line of a method/function, make sure to test common input and edge cases.
-* Prefer `assertSame()` where possible as it tests both type & equality
+* Prefer `assertSame()` where possible as it tests both type and value
 * Remember that only methods prefixed with `test` will be run so use helper methods liberally to keep test methods small and reduce code duplication. If there is a common helper method used in multiple test files, consider adding it to the `WC_Unit_Test_Case` class so it can be shared by all test cases
 * Filters persist between test cases so be sure to remove them in your test method or in the `tearDown()` method.
 * Use data providers where possible. Be sure that their name is like `data_provider_function_to_test` (i.e. the data provider for `test_is_postcode` would be `data_provider_test_is_postcode`). Read more about data providers [here](https://phpunit.de/manual/current/en/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html#writing-tests-for-phpunit.data-providers).
