During the last years PHP has evolved and become a powerful language for developing large scale web applications.
The PHP programming language is no longer just a common scripting language for developing small interactive web sites. The support for object oritented programming that was added with the release of PHP 5.0 has shrinked the existing gap between PHP on the one hand and Java EE and .NET on the other. Developing large scale copmlex systems in PHP has become an option many companies serioucely consider. PHP frameworks such as Symphony and Zend Framework gain an increasing popularity. In many cases, PHP is now a possible alternative for Java EE and .NET. Concurrently with this evolvement we can see a growing usage of unit testing. Unit testing becomes an expected part of every software development process. The PHPUnit open source framework provides PHP developers with a rich set of toos they can use when unit testing their work. The 'PHPUnit Framework' course was developed in order to provide PHP developers with the required knowledge and practice in order to use PHPUnit when unit testing their work. The course includes extensive labs that face its participants with 'real world' scenarios. These labs form an important part of the training. Taking this course you will learn how to use the PHPUnit framework and how to use it effectively when unit testing your code. The following clips can assist you doing the first steps. The first explain how to instal Pear, a required tool in order to install PHPUnit, the second explains how to install PHPUnit and the third explains how to perform simple unit tests when using the PHPUnit framework.
