## Setup Testing

When testing the email, we usually intersted on seeing the final look of the email in addition to knowing who are the recepints of the email. The library provides the developer with the option to store the email as HTML document with all needed information. To configure testing accross all emails, the developer needs to define two constants using the function `define()`. The first one is `EMAIL_TESTING` and the second one is `EMAIL_TESTING_PATH`. The first constant is a boolean that indicates if testing mode is active or not. Second constant is used to tell the library where the HTML documents will be stored.
When testing the email, we usually intersted on seeing the final look of the email in addition to knowing who are the recepints of the email. The library provides the developer with two options for testing email messages:
* Storing them as HTML web pages
* Sending them to specific addresses.

The two testing modes are controlled by the method `Email::setMode()`. The method is used to set the mode at which the email will use when the method `Email::send` is called.

### Storing as Web Pages

In this case, the mode of sending the message should be set to `SendMode::TEST_STORE`. Additionally, the location at which the message will be stored at must be provided.

``` php

$m = new Email(new SMTPAccount([
AccountOption::PORT => 465,
AccountOption::SERVER_ADDRESS => 'mail.example.com',
AccountOption::USERNAME => '[email protected]',
AccountOption::PASSWORD => 'KnvcbxFYCz77',
AccountOption::SENDER_NAME => 'Ibrahim',
AccountOption::SENDER_ADDRESS => '[email protected]',
AccountOption::NAME => 'no-reply'
]));

//Here, set the mode to testing and storing.
$m->setMode(SendMode::TEST_STORE, [
'store-path' => '/path/to/store/message'
]);


$m->setSubject('Test Ability to Store Email');
$m->addTo('[email protected]');
$m->insert('p')->text('Dear,')->setStyle([
'font-weight' => 'bold',
'font-size' => '15pt'
]);
$m->insert('p')->text('This email is just to inform you that you can store emails as web pages.');
$m->insert('p')->text('Regards,')->setStyle([
'color' => 'green',
'font-weight' => 'bold'
]);
$m->send();


```

### Storing as Web Pages

In this case, the mode of sending the message should be set to `SendMode::TEST_SEND`. Additionally, the addresses of the users who will receive the email must be provided.

``` php
define('EMAIL_TESTING', true);
define('EMAIL_TESTING_PATH', '/path/to/email/file');

$m = new Email(new SMTPAccount([
'port' => 465,
