You can specify a valid test database connection, username, and password in the phpunit.xml. Do not test against your development database.

The error you've posted literally says what the problem is. Your database is not accessible by the provided credentials.

I advise you to go to phpunit.xml file and uncomment following lines:

<!-- <server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/> -->
<!-- <server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/> -->

So it should look like:

<server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
<server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
