SimpleTest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SimpleTest is an open source unit test framework for the PHP programming language and was created by Marcus Baker. The test structure is similar to JUnit/PHPUnit. SimpleTest supports mock objects and can be used to automate the regression testing of web applications with a scriptable HTTP Client that can parse HTML pages and simulate things like clicking on links and submittings forms.
With SimpleMail extensions SimpleTest can be used a way of testing for successful transfer of emails. This is a very useful addition for testing websites or scripts that send emails as a part of a registration or purchase transaction for example.
SimpleTest is an important tool for Test-driven development of software written in PHP.
