The original code (only the part of cheking requirements) comes from SZ-Google of Massimo della Rovere with my personal improvements and a little piece of code from WordPress-Plugin-Boilerplate-Powered of Mte90 (the part that check the plugin needed).

Thanks to Luca Tumedei for his help for improving the code and writing test with wp-browser
