When one starts searching for PHP unit tests, one usually stumbles upon:
- PHPUnit.
- SimpleTest.
- A plethora of blogs explaining how to use PHPUnit and SimpleTest.
- StackOverflow questions about PHPUnit and SimpleTest...
...and I think you get the idea.
I was wondering: How does one go about unit testing with plain ol' PHP? Is that even a wise endeavor?
I suppose I would have to build my own little framework. I'm interested because I want to have a better understanding of what's going on in my unit tests. I'm also interested because I think a lightweight, tailored solution would run my tests faster.
Bonus question: Who's the underdog? Is there a third framework worth looking into (for acedemic purposes)?
