PHPUnit Pocket Guide
Smart web developers will tell you that the sooner you
detect your code mistakes, the quicker you can fix them, and
the less the project will cost in the long run. Well, the
most efficient way to detect your mistakes in PHP is with
PHPUnit, an open source framework that automates unit
testing by running a battery of tests
as you go. The
benefits of PHPUnit are significant:
a reduction in the effort required to frequently test code
fewer overall defects
added confidence in your code
improved relations with your open source teammates
The only problem with this popular testing tool was its lack
of documentation-until now, that is. For this, O'Reilly
went right to the source, as Sebastian Bergmann, the author
of PHPUnit Pocket Guide, also happens to be PHPUnit's
creator. This little book brings together hard-to-remember
information, syntax, and rules for working with PHPUnit. It
also delivers the insight and sage advice that can only come
from the technology's creator. Coverage of testing under
agile methodologies and Extreme Programming (XP) is also
included.
The latest in O'Reilly's series of handy Pocket Guides, this
quick-reference book puts all the answers are right at your
fingertips. It's an invaluable companion for anyone
interested in testing the PHP code they write for web
applications.
