SimpleTest

Unit testing, mock objects and web testing framework for PHP.

The heart of SimpleTest is a testing framework built around test case classes. These are written as extensions of base test case classes, each extended with methods that actually contain test code. Top level test scripts then invoke the run() methods on every one of these test cases in order. Each test method is written to invoke various assertions that the developer expects to be true such as assertEqual(). If the expectation is correct, then a successful result is dispatched to the observing test reporter, but any failure triggers an alert and a description of the mismatch. These tools are designed for the developer. Tests are written in the PHP language itself more or less as the application itself is built. The advantage of using PHP itself as the testing language is that there are no new languages to learn, testing can start straight away, and the developer can test any part of the code. Basically, all parts that can be accessed by the application code can also be accessed by the test code if they are in the same language. lastcraft Marcus Baker marcus@lastcraft.com lead jsweat Jason Sweat jsweat_php@yahoo.com helper hfuecks Harry Fuecks hfuecks@phppatterns.com helper 0.9.4 2004-02-20 The Open Group Test Suite License beta This is the final version of the PHP unit and web testing tool before the stable release 1.0 version.
