Theme Unit Tests provide sample content that can be imported into a WordPress site via an XML file or plugin. This allows developers to test that their theme styles are properly applied to different types of default WordPress content like posts, pages, images and embeds. Using Theme Unit Tests saves time by allowing developers to test styles early in the development process and ensure their themes support core WordPress features before releasing. The document also lists several plugins that can be used to generate sample content for testing themes.
