Sebastian Bergmann's Blog: PHPUnit 3.0 Beta 1

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 07:16:11 -0500

Right on the heels of Derick Rethans' post of the first release candidate for Xdebug 2, Sebastian Bergmann has announced a beta release of his unit testing package - PHPUnit 3.

A list of features is available as well as a list of changes. You can install PHPUnit using the PEAR Installer. Note that previous installations of the PHPUnit and PHPUnit2 packages from the pear.php.net channel have to be uninstalled.

Sebastian also mentions the PHPUnit Pocket Guide published a little while back, acting as the official documentation for the project.

Sebastian Bergmann's Blog: Japanese Documentation for PHPUnit

Mon, 07 Aug 2006 05:58:15 -0500

The PHPUnit Pocket Guide has been updated, according to this new post on Sebastian Bergmann's blog today - the addition of a Japanese version.

Masahiro Takagi has contributed a translation of the PHPUnit Pocket Guide, which is the official documentation for PHPUnit.

PHPUnit is one of the most popular unit testing pakcages offered for PHP today. The addition of this translation can only help push it out to even more of the world to use.

Sebastian Bergmann's Blog: So Long, and Thanks for all the PEARs

Wed, 05 Jul 2006 17:14:13 -0500

Sebastian today announces the departure of PHPUnit from the PEAR Project.

Skirting the political issues involved, he cites the move from CVS to SVN+Trac as a major factor in his decisiont to move.

The CVS repository has been migrated to Subversion, Trac is now used to provide repository browsing, issue tracking, and wiki functionality. The PHPUnit Pocket Guide website is now proudly served by lighttpd and the DocBook/XML sources of the book are now also publically available.

Whilst shocking and somewhat tear-sheding, I hope this move doesn't set a precedence for PEAR. Sebastians technical reasons for moving are certainly decisions I have made for projects outside of PEAR and I am happy to see another project make that jump.

Aaron Wormus' Blog: PHPUnit Pocket Guide - 5 Minute Review

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 05:32:08 -0600

On hiw blog today, Aaron Wormus has his quick review of the latest offering from Sebastian Bergmann and O'Reilly - the PHPUnit Pocket Guide.
At the recent International PHP Conference held in Frankfurt, Germany I was able to pick up a copy of Sebastian Bergmann's "PHPUnit Pocket Guide" a slim pocket guide published by O'Reilly which forms the most complete documentation for PHPUnit.
What I found enjoyable, was the mixture between real-world examples, Agile development methodologies and program documentation. I have never used PHPUnit style of unit testing before and while I am familiar with the concepts of Agile and Extreme programming, I would have appreciated a bit more Theory. Of course, this is a pocket guide, not "Unit Testing Unleashed" and links are provided to various sources of information on the topic, so there is plenty of information for me to look at.
He also mentions two other sections in the book - PHPUnit with Phing and with PHP4. And, of course, Aaron reminds us that the contents of the book are also a totally free download from the PHPUnit site too...
