Unit testing in PHP.

Hi,

I was googling for a unit testing framework for php. I stumbled upon 3,
all are named PHPUnit.

1) http://phpunit.sourceforge.net/
2) http://pear.php.net/package/PHPUnit/
3) http://pear.php.net/package/PHPUnit2/

I am confused. Can anybody help me out and tell me what is happening
and clear the confusion.

Please share your experiences with a other unit testing frameworks for
PHP.

Thanks.

Another one to add to the list: simpleTest.

Personally I think PEAR is a bot of a lifestyle choice, and very heavy in
some departments. [ /me dons flameproof suit ]

Of course if you're already a born-again PEAR programmer, then maybe the
PEAR tools make more sense.

Certainly phpUnit does the job for me, although I also use Rephlux - one of
these days I'll try to work out how I can just use one or the other.

Yes but there are two packages in PEAR too
1) PHPUnit
and
2) PHPUnit2

which one are you talking about.

1) is old (2002) and obviously no longer maintained. It could even be a
predecessor of 2) and 3).

2) and 3) are two versions of PHPUnit from the same team. PHPUnit still
runs under PHP4 and PHPUnit2 requires PHP5. PHP5 made it possible that
PHPUnit2 implements the whole functionality of the recent JUnit versions.

Hope that helps.

Hi Everyone, I've recently been reading some articles about unit-testing in Python , but I am a bit confused: where do I go to get started with this? I tried googling for "unittest" but all I've found are some old links to projects that already use it, and the older (as the articles put it) PyUnit project. I'm sorry if this is a obvious question or one that has already been answered, but unit-testing sounds interesting and I'm not sure...

Dear All, I was told that unit test is a powerful tool for progamming. If I am writing a GUI code, is it possible to still using unit test? I have a little experience in using unittest++. But I can not work out a way to use it to test GUI code. Thanks a lot!

Hi, I previously asked for suggestions on teaching testing in C++. Based on some of the replies I received I decided that best way to proceed would be to teach the students how they might write their own unit test framework, and then in a lab session see if I can get them to write their own. To give them an example I've created the following UTF class (with a simple test program following). I would welcome and suggestions on how anybody...

Unit testing is an integral component of both "formal" and "agile" models of development. Alas, it involves a significant amount of tedious labor. There are test automation tools out there but from what limited exposure I've had, they are pricey, reasonably buggy, and require compiler/target adaptation. Out of my frustration with two out of two of them came my own. Its instrumentation approach is based solely on profound abuse of the C

Howdy all, PEP 299 <URL:http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0299details an enhancement for entry points to Python programs: a module attribute (named '__main__') that will be automatically called if the module is run as a program. The PEP has status "Rejected", citing backward-compatibility issues, and Guido's pronouncement that "It's not worth the change (in docs, user habits, etc.) and there's nothing particularly broken."

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
