PHPUnit is a testing framework that is supported, integrated and suggested by the majority of PHP frameworks.Test Driven Development (TDD), and Continuous Integration are here to stay and PHPUnit is an industry standard that caters for both.
The book [‘Handson Testing with PHPUnit Howto’][1] offers a quick but thorough step by step guide over the core concepts of PHPUnit. In a ‘learn by example’ approach the programmer gets acquainted with the TDD process without feeling overwhelmed with pompous definitions.
Special credit for the mocks section where the admittedly hard terminology becomes clear. Best practices are demonstrated and popular misconceptions are pointed out.
I strongly recommend PHPUnit and this book to anyone with problem solving capabilities in PHP who wants to work in a team and be proud of the code he/she writes. After all, we write code for other people to read.
