Thanks for giving us more knowledge on unit testing deeply. One question i want to raise here that how to overcome the limitations of the unit testing or can we use unit testing along with integration testing to extent its results quality.

@shubhangi

Modules are nothing more then structured pieces of your application. Working this described way allows you to test your whole application, modules and library components included.

@c unit testing
What do you mean with everything ? Have you tried the quickstart guide from Zend Framework ? This setup works well with it.
See http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart for more details

This will help me a lot with unit testing! I'm trying to work on the same build source, but am having a little trouble with getting everything to work like I want it to.

@Federico: do you have published an article of that setup ? I'm really interested in seeing this kind of setup.

@misbehavens: I know, apparently there are a couple of escaping issues here. But any given XML editor will show you immediately what's wrong so you can fix it.

This example shows more the general idea behind unit testing instead being a simple copy/paste example.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding and I'm looking into the whole escaping issue (already pointed out by @ananonymous #1 and @anonymous #2)

@anynymous #3: XDebug provides extra functionality used by PHPUnit to generate those coverage reports. I'm sure Zend Debug provides similar functionality, but I'm not sure how to implement it along with PHPUnit.

Thanks for your post. Can you please talk about testing models in a 1.8+ application? Thank you! Also, you still have errors in your XML code sample.

One thing I found out a couple of months ago: If you have a build server and you are running Hudson, you can generate the code covergae report inside your workspace, bookmark any html page and share it with other members of your team.

More on missing code: It looks like the <'s were escaped.

Thanks again,

2009-11-04T00:36:07.290+01:00

It looks like the xml for phpunit.xml is a bit messed up. No opening < for most of it, maybe other stuff?

Great post, though. Very helpful!

@Lance,

Glad to help you out here, I'll probably put some more examples on my blog, depending on the amount of questions I get.

@mweierophinney,

I did not know that, and you haven't blogged about it yet... but I'll look in to it and will post a follow up once I have figured it out.

Tnx for the hint !

@Giorgio,

Yes, this is solely for testing your controllers, actions and interactions with data sources (internal and external).

But I have to admit, having this combined with my own library components, I have one testsuite running all tests, independent from their purpose.

Remember that this is how to test your controllers...

2009-11-03T21:33:55.998+01:00

Remember that this is how to test your controllers; to test other classes there is no need for the Zend_Test component, plain old phpunit will do a perfect job.

2009-11-03T12:35:22.119+01:00

BTW, as of 1.9.5, you can now assign a Zend_Application instance to $this->bootstrap; Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase will then bootstrap() it during setUp().

Thanks, very nice tutorial.

I left ZendCon knowing what unit testing was, and why I needed to do it, but didn't have any idea how to start... thanks for the "foot in the door" tutorial.
