Unit Testing in PHP

So I stumbled on this test framework for PHP called SimpleTest.

What is particularly interesting is that it is used by CakePHP and so it can be used for sites we write using Cake (As a side note, I would recommend writing apps using CakePHP.  I did some swearing during the development of my first app, but not much.)

One interesting thing is that this Testing framework has an internal browser and so can navigate the site and fill out forms as part of a test.  This would be great if it is usable to try and try and try and try while working on validation or some such functionality.

Take a look I haven’t used it myself.  I’ve just started looking now that I know it is used by CakePHP.

    I’ve looked at this a little further this morning, and I think I can recommend it if we are using CakePHP. If we aren’t we could probably still use it but there may be better frameworks around.
