Unit testing with .phpt

Wednesday, December 1. 2004

In the latest issue of the PHP Barnstormer Aaron wrote a nice summary of Greg's tutorial on how to use those strange phpt-files and how to write your own tests. This currently is the best source of information on phpt files you can get (at least I could not find better information).
Together with the new PEAR_RunTest class, that Greg wrote, it will finally be a lot easier using these standard tests for your PEAR packages.
This reminded me, that a lot of my PEAR packages still are in need of some good unit tests, guess I'll give phpt a try.

I do not understand why PEAR packages do not use PHPUnit-based unit tests. Especially considering PEAR has official authority unit testing frameworks -- i.e. PHPUnit and PHPUnit2. After spending time writing good unit tests with those packages (and JUnit), writing phpt tests feels like such a clumsy hack.
