Sebastian Bergmann's Blog: IDE Support for PHPUnit

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 17:17:00 -0500

Sebastian Bergmann points out something that's been a long time coming for PHPUnit - IDE support in the form of additions to two popular PHP editors, PHPEdit and Zend Studio.

The support is very much welcomed, but Sebastian does still have one wish, though:

It would be great, though, if someone develops a free PHPUnit support for the Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) project (or for vim for which there is already SimpleTest support. If you are using PHPEclipse, there is still the SimpleTest plugin for PHPEclipse that also supports PHPUnit.

You can check out the support provided for PHPUnit from these two editors by checking out these links for PHPEdit and this page for Zend Studio.
