+Using the VarDumper Component in Your PHPUnit Test Suite
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.7
+    The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\VarDumper\\Test\\VarDumperTestTrait` was
+    introduced in Symfony 2.7.
+
+The VarDumper component provides
+:class:`a trait <Symfony\\Component\\VarDumper\\Test\\VarDumperTestTrait>`
+that can help writting some of your tests for PHPUnit.
+You can use it by importing it into your test classes::
+
+    class YourTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
+    {
+        use \Symfony\Component\VarDumper\Test\VarDumperTestTrait;
+
+        // ...
+    }
+
+This will provide you with two new assertions:
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\VarDumper\\Test\\VarDumperTestTrait::assertDumpEquals`
+    verifies that the dump of the variable given as the second argument matches
+    the expected dump provided as a string in the first argument.
+
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\VarDumper\\Test\\VarDumperTestTrait::assertDumpMatchesFormat`
+    is like the previous method but accepts placeholders in the expected dump,
+    based on the ``assertStringMatchesFormat`` method provided by PHPUnit.
