Hi,

What do you use for unit testing in PHP? phpUnit, SimpleTest or any other?

Thanks,
Vikash Kumar

Ages ago, when it was new and shiny I did use SimpleTest. Now I mostly use
phpunit - though where necessary (for example if I'm patching a PEAR package
that uses them) I use phpt tests ( http://qa.php.net/write-test.php ).

If you're starting out on something [new] that doesn't yet have unit tests,
I'd suggest phpunit.

I tend to prefer SimpleTest. Mock Objects and the Web UI are IMO, way better
than what they are with PHPUnit (the last I saw of it). Besides, everything
comes as a package => much easier to set it up.

As far as CI-tools go, phpUnderControl supports only PHPUnit (out of the box).
Phing supports both PHPUnit and SimpleTest painlessly.

I use Mike Lively's "PHP TAP Test Harness" with test-more.php from the
"Apache Test Harness." This requires a CLI interpreter be installed. I
was already familiar with the equivalent packages in Perl, and this is
mostly a port of them into PHP. In addition to that, I have written my
own db_dummy.php to emulate the PostgreSQL library in PHP.

I have no class, so the OOP test modules are of no use to me. After 40
years of procedural programming, I simply cannot see anything as
objects.

SimpleTest because of the flexibility.
