Description-en: Unit testing suite for PHP5
Unit testing allows you to write small test methods which verify units of
functionality in your program. It is a powerful technique for improving the
quality of your software, preventing regressions, and allowing confident
refactoring of your code.
.
PHPUnit is a unit testing suite for the PHP language, modelled on the xUnit
testing framework, designed by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma. If you've used
JUnit (for Java), PyUnit (for Python), CxxUnit (for C++), or any of the
other equivalents for other languages, the API for this package should seem
fairly familiar. If you've never written unit tests before, the PHPUnit
API is simple to learn and use.
